I used to save these special treats just for Christmastime. But they're so easy and in such demand with my family that I now keep them on hand all year-round. As pretty as sugarplums, they make lovely gifts, too.

These are so yummy. A little time consuming but so worth it.

I am a lemon lover so this recipe attracted me. The filling is very tasty However, it was nightmare to put together. The filing was very difficult to shape into balls and it started to thaw before you could get all the balls made. Too much time to put together.

It took 6 hours for these to freeze before they could be scooped, the mixture was now still at all after 4 hours.

The center was scrumptious, but dipping them from the frozen state just made a clumpy mess of the chocolate on the bonbons. I am going to try some different techniques for the dipping I will definitely make these again.
