Peanut Butter-Dipped Cocoa Bonbons




Source of Recipe


recipehound

2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese
1 tablespoon milk
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)
1 package (12 ounces) peanut butter flavored chips (2 cups)
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening



1 Beat cream cheese and milk in small mixer bowl; blend in confectioners' sugar, cocoa and vanilla. Stir in nuts. Chill until firm enough to handle, about 1 hour. Shape into 1/2-inch balls; place on wax paper-lined tray. Chill, uncovered, 3 to 4 hours or overnight. Centers should feel dry to touch.
2 Stir peanut butter chips and shortening in top of double boiler over hot, not boiling, water until melted. Using a fork or clean hat pin, dip each center into peanut butter mixture. Gently tap fork on side of pan to remove excess peanut butter mixture. Slide bonbon from fork upside down onto wax paper, swirling "thread" of peanut butter from fork across top for a decorative touch. Chill. Stire in a cool place.
