This project is more meant for information/ inspiration than a tutorial.

The idea of making 'BonBon' has been in my head for quite some time,( original attempt in 2018 with much simpler equipment.) These were my first attempts with the "proper" equipment and desire to do it again. And they turned out pretty okay.

I also found out they make great gifts, if you have the time to make them. I brought them to a party and they were quite popular.

I didnt do a great job documenting the process, but might take more care in this aspect if I were to make more. The pictures I did take can be found in the Gallery below.

The BonBons

I have no formal training when it comes to anything in the kitchen, and as with most things I want to learn, I turned to Youtube University. There I found any number of tutorials from professional kitchens to follow and figure out.

Some videos I watched;

The Boxes

Making the boxes is somehting that came a little more naturally to me. Even with some planning, there is still room for improvements having made two versions of the box. The most important thing for me with the boxes was to add a level of luxury (that i was sure wouldnt be found in my plain looking bonbon) because I was planning to give them as gifts.

This luxury was achieved by using some nice foiled cardboard and being careful to make clean cuts.
