Ingredients for Amaretto Bon Bon Balls
How to Make Amaretto Bon Bon Balls
- In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and amaretto until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until just combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract.
- Gradually add the graham cracker crumbs, mixing until just incorporated. If the mixture is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of amaretto at a time until it reaches desired consistency. If it's too wet, add 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar at a time.
- Roll the mixture into 30 one-inch balls.
- Place the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and chocolate milk powder into separate shallow dishes.
- Roll each ball in your choice of coating: cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or chocolate milk powder.
- Place the coated balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the bonbons to firm up.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks. Freezing is also an option for longer storage.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
