Notes

STORING PEANUT BUTTER BON BONS
  • To retain the best taste and texture, store bon bons in a cool dry place. Ideal temperature should be between 60 to 70F (15 to 20 C).
  • Store in an airtight container and ideally without them touching each other. Wrap them individually in parchment paper or aluminum.
  • If you want to store up to a month, then refrigerate it an airtight container. Freeze them for in zip-lock bags for up to 4 months.
TIPS
  • If dipping chocolate is too thick, add 1 tsp of vegetable or coconut oil to thin it. Add more oil (1 tsp at a time) if the chocolate is still too thick.
  • Adding little bit of oil also adds a nice shine and gives a smooth finish to the bon bons.
  • If the chocolate keeps hardening before you are done coating, reheat in the microwave for 10 seconds and work quickly!
