Storage & Handling
We recommend storing in a cool dry place away from sunlight. Freezing can cause cracking of the shells and refrigeration can cause condensation. They are best eaten at room temperature for maximum flavour.
The Double Raspberry
We think raspberry and chocolate is a match made in heaven so we did a double whammy of raspberry in this pretty heart bonbon. There’s a layer of raspberry caramel ganache made with 70% Fleur De Cao chocolate with pure raspberry puree and underneath a layer of bright raspberry caramel made with pure raspberry puree.
Strawberries and Cream
We’ve been asked many times to produce a strawberry bonbon, so this summer we bought a boatload of local strawberries from a local fame vendor and made our own puree and removed all the seeds with a tami for a bright local taste. Then we made a light caramel with that puree and poured it over Cacao Barry Zephyr white chocolate couverture to make a ganache that was a favorite among our VIP tasting panel.
Black Currant
We’ve made a layer of black currant pate de fruit from pure italian cassis puree and stacked it on a layer of house-made chewy toffee caramel. The tangy cassis balances well with the rich toffee flavor and texture.
The Orange Spice
Wer made a ganache with Orange pureee, Zephyr caramel chocolate, Ceylon cinnamon, nutmeg and clove for a soft creamy ganache but to really pump up the fun we added some crunchy chocolate pearls. It’s really the taste of the holidays and our taster’s number 2 pick.
The Double Salt Caramel
A perennial fave, we make a caramel with real bourbon and add Malden smoked salt for lovely chewy caramel with real depth of flavour but to double it up with both texture and taste, we added a layer of salted caramel ganache, too.
Black Forest
The Black forest bonbon is reminiscent of that delicious piece of black forest cake we love so much. We made a caramel from local prairie cherries and then poured the warm caramel over 41% Alunga single origin sustainable milk chocolate couverture.
The Apricot Domino
Inspired by one of my my family’s favorite German bonbons, which is aprocot, marzipan and milk chocolate. We made our version with gelee from apricot puree and layered it over a house-made almond butter for a rich, bright and balanced taste and texture.
Mango Madness
OPne of our chef’s personal faves, we’ve made a chewy gelee from pure mango puree and layered with with a soft passionfruit caramel for a sweetness and tangy that’ll leave you thinking of a beach in the tropics.
The Fireball
This is a favorite among our VIP chocolate club. We make a firm caramel from fireball whiskey and cinnamon oil and layer it with a honey ganache made with local Howland Honey and 41% Alunga milk chocolate.
Caramel Macchiato
Another of our VIP tasting panel’s top choices, we’ve. brewed espresso, added 35% cream and Kahlua and poured it over 41% Alunga milk chocolate couverture for a rich creamy ganache and to add the hint of caramel. we decorated this bonbon with Zephyr caramel chocolate from Cacao Barry.
