Ingredients
- 8 ounces Dark chocolate
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Liqueur (e.g., rum, bourbon, or Baileys)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or sprinkles (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Then gently whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Step 4
Stir in the liqueur of your choice and the butter until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to shape.
Step 6
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop the chocolate mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls with your hands.
Step 7
Roll the balls in cocoa powder to coat them evenly. Alternatively, roll them in chopped nuts or sprinkles for added texture and flavor.
Step 8
Place the finished bon bons on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set.
Step 9
Store the Boozy Bon Bons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
