Ingredients
  1. 1 cup butter, melted
  2. 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  3. 3 pounds confectioners' sugar
COOKIES & CREME BONBONS
  1. 1/2 cup cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs
  2. 1 pound white candy coating, melted
CHOCOLATE-COVERED CHERRIES
  1. 54 maraschino cherries (about two 10-ounce jars), patted dry
  2. 1 pound milk chocolate candy coating, melted
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine butter and milk. Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar until a smooth dough is formed. Divide in half; cover with plastic wrap.
  2. For bonbons, stir cookie crumbs into one portion of dough. Shape into 1-in. balls. Dip into white candy coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Chill until firm.
  3. For chocolate-covered cherries, shape remaining portion of dough into 1-in. balls; flatten to 2-in. circles. Wrap each circle around a cherry and gently reshape into a ball. Dip into milk chocolate coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Chill until firm. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 9 dozen.
