Ingredients
Makes: Approx. 10–12 bonbons (depending on mold size)
- 100 g peanut butter
- 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 20 ml water
- 100 g rice crispies
- 60 g ground peanuts
- 200 g white chocolate (dairy-free for vegan option)
- Caramel or Biscoff spread (for filling center)
Step 1: Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, honey, and water until the mixture is smooth and well emulsified. Add the rice crispies and ground peanuts, stirring until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Set aside.
Step 2: Create the White Chocolate Shell
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl (30-second intervals, stirring in between) or use a double boiler for better control.
Spoon a layer of melted chocolate into an oval silicone mold, spreading it along the base and sides. Tap the mold gently to remove any air bubbles. Freeze the mold for a few minutes until the chocolate sets.
Step 3: Assemble the Bonbons
Once the shell has hardened:
- Spoon the prepared peanut butter filling into each mold cavity, pressing lightly to flatten.
- Pour a second layer of white chocolate on top to completely seal each bonbon.
- While the chocolate is still soft, add a small dollop of caramel or Biscoff cream to the center to create the golden "eye" effect.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Freeze the bonbons for 15–20 minutes or until fully set. Gently remove from the mold and serve chilled.
Storage Tips
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Best served cold to maintain shape and texture.
Vegan Option
- Use dairy-free white chocolate
- Replace honey with maple syrup
