The recipe I've chosen was given to me by a woman named Susie Feeney. Susie Feeney (always a first and last name for that one) was tall, beautiful, put-together woman who had lived all over the country and had raised her beautiful children to be successful doctors and bankers and they all got together to tailgate at Notre Dame games. She was the woman I wanted to be if I could ever get my shit together. We worked at the GAP together and she brought these little nuggets of delight to one of our holiday meetings, which took place in September because retail. Anyway, they were so elegant and delicious, and I asked for her recipe. I was expecting an embossed recipe card with perfect handwriting, and not the photocopied page from a Betty Crocker cookbook. Susie Feeney told me she made these bonbons because they were insanely easy, but looked bakery-made. And it's true. When I make them I feel like I'm cheating, but as I serve them to friends I imagine they're looking at me as the put-together woman with the beautiful kids who makes gorgeous cookies and has her shit all together with edible glitter on top.
And then I shake my bonbon.

Don't use your dishwasher until you have a full load. Make sure your dishwasher is full before using it, hecause it takes the same amount of water and energy to wash a full load as it does half a load. Use the shortest cycle possible, if you can, turn the dishwasher off prior to the drying cycle, opening the door. This allows the dishes to air dry.satta king
