CINDY'S XMAS BON BON TREE
I have been making these for years...I originally got the recipe out of a Home for the Holidays magazine...very easy and very impressive...You can also make the tree with the mini candy bars if you do not want to make the bon bons...I know these directions sound very hard, but it is so darn easy you will be surprised how fast it goes....and how gorgeous the bon bon tree comes out...I also put some ribbon hanging down from the top to make it more festive....You will need a 12 inch craft foam cone that you will paint with chocolate...the computer would not let me put it in the ingredients....

Steps:
- FUDGE BON BON CANDY DIRECTIONS:.
- Beat Cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add melted chocolate, beating until smooth. Stir in crumbs and preserves. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
- Shape mixture into 1 inch balls, and place on wax paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate 1 hour.
- Place chocolate candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave at high 3 to 4 minutes, stirring at 1-minute intervals.
- Dip each ball into chocolate coating, letting excess coating drip off. Place balls on wax paper-lined baking sheets. Chill about 10 minutes or until coating hardens.
- Place vanilla candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave at high 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Spoon coating into a small, heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal. Snip a tiny hole in a one corner of bag, and gently squeeze bag to drizzle coating over balls. Keep balls refrigerated. Yield: 7 dozen bon bon balls.
- Note: If tree will be consumed, refrigerate balls. A light mist caused from moisture condensation will mark the surface of the balls. This will not harm the candy.

BOOZY BON BONS
I've had this recipe for years and don't really know where I got it. I've only ever made these during the Christmas season. I store them in an old clear glass, clasp-lid mason jar with gold glittered decorations and a pretty ribbon. Cooking time is standing time. Rum or Brandy can be substituted for the whiskey. For those of you in the UK, you can substitute digestive bisquits for the wafers and also sub golden syrup for the corn syrup.

Steps:
- Put cookies into a large ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin or put into a food processor until you have very fine crumbs.
- Mix the 1 cup powdered sugar, cocoa powder and walnuts thoroughly. Add to the cookie crumbs in a large bowl and mix together.
- Add the corn syrup and whiskey and stir to combine. If mixture seems dry, add more whiskey, about a tablespoon at a time, up to 1/4 cup more. Do not add any more than this or the mixture will be too wet.
- Let mixture stand for 20 minutes.
- Roll into 1" balls, then roll in powdered sugar and place on waxed paper. Let dry 30 minutes.
- Store in airtight container 2-3 weeks to ripen before eating.
BON BON COOKIES
From Betty Crocker's Cookie Book (1984). I love to make these at Christmas time, coloring some red and some green. I like to put chocolate chips in mine because I really don't like cherries too much.
