Nanaimo Bon Bon Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Mix well until creamy. Add the graham cracker crumbs and shredded coconut, and stir until fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Bon Bons

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  3. 3

    Make the Maple Fudge

    In a saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup, sweetened condensed milk, and powdered sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

  4. 4

    Coat the Bon Bons

    Dip each chilled bon bon into the maple fudge mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    After coating all the bon bons, refrigerate them again for at least 1 hour to set. Serve cold and enjoy your delicious Nanaimo Bon Bons with Maple Fudge!
