How to Make the BEST Chocolate Dipped Scotcheroos Bon Bons
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.
- Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Scotcheroos Bon Bons: Light Corn Syrup, granulated sugar, extra crunchy peanut butter, 6 cups crispy rice cereal i.e. Rice Krispies, mini semi-sweet chocolate baking chips, finely chopped chocolate peanut butter cups, 2 one pound packages chocolate candy coating and seasonal sprinkles.
- Kitchen tools you’ll need: Sheet pans, wax paper, large heavy bottomed saucepan, large bowl, measuring cups and spoons.
- You can also use creamy peanut butter in this recipe.
- Make a point to prepare the Scotcheroo bon bons a few hours in advance to allow them ample time to set and firm.
- Get the family involved and set-up a dipping station with the melted candy coating and assorted toppings such as sprinkles, candy, edible eyes or chopped peanuts.
- While I dip these scotcheroos bon bons in classic chocolate you could also use white almond bark or white chocolate.
- Before you begin, prepare a couple of sheet pans with wax paper so after dipping them in the warm chocolate you can quickly place them onto the pan to set up without sticking.
- Store Chocolate Dipped Scotcheroo Bon Bons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
