Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Mix butter, confectioners' sugar, condensed milk, coconut, chopped walnuts, and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until mixture has thickened enough to roll into balls, about 2 hours.
Step 2
Roll bonbon mixture into 1-inch balls and place close together, but not touching, on cookie sheets. Freeze until hard.
Step 3
While bonbons are freezing, line a cookie sheet or flat surface with waxed paper. Combine chocolate chips and shortening in the top of a double boiler, over simmering water; stir until melted.
Step 4
Dip each bonbon in the melted chocolate using a toothpick or a fork. Place on waxed paper to dry.
