Christmas Candy Bonbons Recipe

Ingredients:
1 cup margarine, softened
2 pounds confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 cups coconut
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening

Directions:
In large bowl, combine margarine, confectioners' sugar, condensed milk, coconut, chopped walnuts and vanilla.
Stir well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until mixture has thickened enough to roll into balls.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place close together, but not touching, on cookie sheets. Freeze until hard.

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, not in, simmering water.
Stir until melted. Using a toothpick or a fork, dip each bonbon in the melted chocolate. Place on waxed paper to dry.

When chocolate has hardened, store bonbons in plastic bag in the freezer.
