Ingredients

1 cup butter, melted
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
3 pounds confectioners' sugar
COOKIES & CREME BONBONS:
1/2 cup cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs
1 pound white candy coating, melted
CHOCOLATE-COVERED CHERRIES:
54 maraschino cherries (about two 10-ounce jars), patted dry
1 pound milk chocolate candy coating, melted

Directions

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.
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.
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.
