Biscoff Caramel Pretzel Bon Bons {Guest Post from The Sweet Chick}

Hi, I'm Carole from over at The Sweet Chick.  I love to blog about sweet stuff.  I bake it, I eat it, and sometimes I share it.  Megan has been kind enough to let me guest post and I am excited to share this recipe with you.  I made these Biscoff Caramel Pretzel Bon Bons for my daughter's kindergarten graduation last year and they were a big hit.  They look super fancy, but they are so easy to make.  And the best part is that they are no bake.  Come on, how much better does it get?

Here are the ingredients you are going to need.  If you can't find caramel, you can substitute with caramel topping.  It has about the same consistency and taste. 

 

To shape the bon bons, I used a cake pop mold from My Little Cupcake, but you can measure out the dough with a cookie scoop and roll into a ball by hand.  You can skip the M&M center, but I like the added crunch factor.

 

Once you have dipped them in chocolate, you can leave them plain or fancy them up.  I used a mixture of caramel and vanilla candy melt to drizzle over the tops.  The candy melt makes the caramel easier to work with and makes it less sticky.  It will not harden completely, but it will stick nicely to the chocolate shell of the bon bons.  Then you can add any topping you like.  I used some left over pretzel bits, chocolate sprinkles, and chopped walnuts.  I placed mine in simple white mini cupcake wrappers.

The end result is pure bliss.  Once you break through the chocolate shell and find the sweet mix of Biscoff and salty pretzel bits, blended with a hint of caramel, you will know what I mean.  It almost has a Twix bar like taste.  If you put them in a pretty tin box, you can give them as gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, or just because.  Go on and make some today.  Thanks again to Megan for letting me share this recipe.

Ingredients (about 36 bon bons)

For the Bon Bons

• 2 cups crushed pretzels
• 1 cup Biscoff spread
• 2 cups marshmallow fluff
• 3 tbsp melted butter
• 1 cup caramel spread (or caramel topping)
• 36 Pretzel M&Ms (optional)

For the Coating

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 cup vanilla flavored candy melt (or dark chocolate)

For the Drizzle

• 1/2 cup caramel spread (or caramel topping)
• 1/2 cup vanilla flavored candy melt

For the Toppings

• dark chocolate sprinkles
• chopped walnuts
• pretzel bits

Instructions

For the Bon Bons

In a food processor chop up the pretzels until you have 2 cups crushed pretzels.

Place the crushed pretzels in a stand mixer and add the Biscoff, fluff, melted butter and caramel. Mix well, until batter becomes a dough like consistency and can be molded.

Using your hands or a cake pop mold, shape the batter into 1 inch balls and place on wax paper. (If using the M&Ms, shape the ball around the candy.)

Place the balls in the fridge for 1-2 hours until they are firm.

For the Coating

In a deep bowl, melt the chocolate chips and the candy melt together in the microwave at 30 second intervals until melted. Stir well so there are no lumps.

Using a fork or a candy dipping tool, carefully dip the balls in the chocolate melt until well coated and then place on a clean wax paper until the chocolate hardens. If needed, place balls back in fridge for a few minutes.

For the Drizzle

Once chocolate is set, melt caramel and candy melt in microwave at 30 second intervals until melted and stir well until smooth. Place caramel in a frosting piping bag with tip or a Ziplock bag snipped at the corner to drizzle the caramel over the balls.

For the Toppings

Before drizzle sets, sprinkle with desired toppings.
