Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and provides a pleasant crunch. Sifting the confectioners' sugar ensures a smooth, lump-free texture. For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heat-safe bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Use a toothpick to dip the balls into chocolate. It can minimize the extra chocolate around the bon bons.
