Coconut Bon Bon's

This candy is sooo good and I wanted to share it on my blog.  I got this recipe from Wendy Rusch.  It is very easy to make. This is her picture as I can't find the one I took of my bon bon's.

Ingredients

3/4 c	mashed potatoes
4 c	coconut, flaked
4 c	powdered sugar
12 oz	semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cake	*parafin wax, optional

Directions

1

Mix together potatoes, sugar and coconut. Place in refrigerator for 1/2 an hour. Shape into 1" balls, place on waxed paper lined cookie sheets. Freeze for 1/2 an hour. Melt chocolate with wax in double boiler. If you opt not to use the wax, I would add 2 Tablespoons of veg oil to the chocolate for smoother melting and dipping. Dip balls and place back on waxed paper. Allow to dry/harden...and Enjoy!
Store in cool place, they freeze really well.
*parafin wax - you can use this if you want, it provides a nicer, more glossy texture on the bonbon...don't melt so easily in your fingers...but you really don't need it.
