  • Author: Living the Gourmet
  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 2 dozen bonbons 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 box of fudge brownie mix
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup dark rum
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, plus 1 cup for coating
  • 8 ounces vanilla frosting
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  • In small bowl combine the raisins and rum.  Let stand for about 15 minutes for the raisins to absorb the rum.
  • Preheat oven 350 degrees F.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine brownie mix, rum raisins (do not drain the rum), walnuts, vanilla extract, water, eggs, ½ cup chocolate chips.  Stir to combine until a thick batter comes together.
  • Pour the batter into an 8x8 square lined baking dish.  Bake for about 30 minutes or until the cake tester comes out clean.  Remove and let cool completely.
  • Break up the brownies into a large bowl and combine with the vanilla frosting until incorporated.  Using a tablespoon or ice cream scooper, scoop out the batter onto a line baking sheet.   Freeze for about 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, melt down 1 cup of chocolate chips in a double-boiler or microwave.  Carefully dip each bonbon into the melted chocolate.  I use two forks to this process to let the excess drip.  Place back onto the baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate has set.
  • Before serving, dust with cocoa powder.  Enjoy!

Notes

Bonbons can be stored into an airtight container for upto a week.
