Ingredients

Scale

Bonbon Mixture

100g smooth peanut butter
50g softened butter
140g icing sugar
2 Dime or other toffee bars, chopped

Coating and Topping

100g milk chocolate, chopped
100g salted toasted peanuts, chopped

Instructions

Prepare the Bonbon Mixture: Place the smooth peanut butter, softened butter, and icing sugar into a food processor. Pulse the ingredients until the mixture comes together into a smooth, cohesive dough.
Add Toffee: Add the chopped toffee bars into the food processor with the dough and pulse a few times to combine evenly, incorporating chunks of toffee throughout the mixture.
Shape the Bonbons: Remove the mixture from the processor and, using the palms of your hands, roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls. Arrange them on a tray and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt the Chocolate: Melt the chopped milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl either in the microwave on High for 1 minute or place the bowl over a pan of boiling water (making sure it doesn’t touch the water) to melt gently.
Coat the Bonbons: Using a fork, dip each chilled peanut ball halfway into the melted chocolate, then immediately roll it in the chopped salted toasted peanuts to coat completely. Place the coated bonbons on a tray lined with baking parchment.
Set the Bonbons: Leave the bonbons to harden at room temperature for about 2 hours until the chocolate sets firmly.
Store Properly: Once hardened, layer the bonbons between sheets of baking parchment in a covered container and keep chilled. They will keep fresh for up to 1 week when stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Use salted toasted peanuts for maximum crunch and flavor contrast.
Be careful to not overheat the chocolate to avoid burning it; melt gently instead.
These bonbons are best stored chilled to maintain their shape and texture.
You can substitute the toffee bars with your favorite chewy caramel candies for variation.
Rolling the chocolate-coated balls immediately in peanuts helps the coating stick well before setting.
