These delectable Chocolate Dipped Scotcheroo Bon Bons are a super fun seasonal spin on classic Chocolate Peanut Butter Scotcheroos. Decorate the tops with colorful sprinkles and they're transformed into a sweet treat no one can resist.
Chocolate Dipped Scotcheroo Bon Bons
My pantry is always stocked with Karo syrup. for these goodies, light Karo® corn syrup is combined with puffed rice cereal, crunchy peanut butter, mini chocolate chips and chopped peanut butter cups then shaped into bite sized morsels ready for dunking in a warm chocolate candy coating. When Karo invited me to help celebrate the Season of Sweetness to kick start the holiday season, it was an easy decision. I use Karo in so many baking projects to create sweet treats just as my Mother did before me. In desserts like my:
- Chocolate Sour Cream Pound Cake
- Homemade Caramel Popcorn
- I particularly love the chewy texture Karo corn syrup gives to cookies and the glossy shine it gives to my bourbon praline pecan sauce turning it into liquid gold. It's heavenly!
Scotcheroos are a Taste of Nostalgia
I can remember making classic Chocolate Scotcheroos as a girl and I still love them. They were the inspiration for these fun Scotcheroo bon bons which can be decorated with any color sprinkles you like, making them a year-round goodie to make and serve. Are you planning on entertaining this Halloween? Your little monsters will love these mini handheld goodies and since they're so simple to make, you could even include the kids in your kitchen activities.
- Make the Scotcheroo bon bons in advance and allow them to firm.
- Set-up a dipping station with melted candy coating and assorted toppings such as sprinkles, candy, edible eyes or chopped peanuts.
- Have nearby wax paper lined pans for their bon bons to set up without sticking.
- It's an ooey-gooey activity the whole family will love with lots of finger licking sure to follow.
