Notes

  • Peanut Butter - Smooth peanut butter gives a creamy filling but I used crunchy peanut butter which has roasted chopped peanuts in it. I love the crunchy bits here and there. You can use either creamy or crunchy. 
  • Chilling - Make sure to chill the dough before rolling as it helps to tighten the dough which helps easy rolling else it will be sticky. Even after rolling chill the balls before dipping in chocolate.
  • Balance - The peanut butter I used has salt in it. You can add a pinch of salt to the filling too.
  • Melt chocolate - Always melt chocolate using double boiler method or using short microwave bursts. Slow melting helps it from burning. Melt chocolate until smooth, flowing and shiny.
  • Dipping - Coat the peanut butter balls with chocolate fully, tap to remove excess. I always use a fork which makes the job easier.
  • Setting - You can set it at room temperature or in fridge depending on the climatic conditions outside.
  • Storing - Keep bon bons in an airtight container in fridge or freezer. Proper storage keeps them fresh and prevents melting.
