Christmas Bon Bons
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup mashed potatoes
- Leftovers from dinner work; pepper and all!

- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 4 cups coconut
- 1 dash salt
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 ounces paraffin wax
- Butter may be substituted.
Instructions
- Combine potatoes, flavoring, sugar, coconut, and salt. Form into balls and chill 2 hours.
- Melt chips and wax together. Dip chilled balls to coat.
Notes
Linda has tested the use of leftover potatoes. Let us know if you try using garlic mashed. It’s also fun to add food coloring or to decorate with white chocolate drizzle that has been colored! For the ones in the photo, I actually did a mix of melted dark chocolate chips and the Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers.
