Chocolate Bon Bons Recipe

Because my boyfriend thinks that all I do is sit around the house and eat bon bons, I dedicate this delicious recipe to him. They’re really quite easy to make. Contrary to what he thinks, I’ve never had occasion to make them until now.

• 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup cocoa
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• cooking spray
• powdered sugar, sweetened cocoa, sprinkles, nonpareils for decoration

1. Mix sweetened condensed milk and cocoa in a non-stick pan and bring to a boil.
2. Cook over medium to medium-high heat for 15 minutes, stirring constantly. (That’s the hardest part of the whole gig!)
3. Remove from heat and add butter and salt.
4. Allow to cool and drop by teaspoonfuls onto a pan lined with waxed paper.
5. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6. Spray hands with cooking spray and shape each dollup into a ball or square.
7. Roll in sweetened cocoa, powdered sugar or decorate with sprinkles and nonpareils and keep in an airtight container in the fridge.
8. Eat liberally while watching soap operas.
