Recipe of Chocolate bonbons in various flavours

1

Melt 400 g chocolate au bain-marie. When the chocolate is almost melted, remove the pan with chocolate from the stove and from the pan with water. Stir the visible pieces into the warm chocolate. Then add the remaining 80 g melts and stir them into the warm chocolate. Then bring the temperature back to the processing temperature. For dark 31°C, milk 30°C, white and ruby 28-29°C. This listens very closely. Use the chocolate thermometer for this. Repeat for all types of chocolate.

These are important steps before you start. Keep to these processing temperatures for the chocolate: all types of chocolate melt at 45°C. If you do not comply with this, your chocolates will fail and will not come out of the mould. You can also temper the chocolate. Read how in our blog.

2

Pour the chocolate into the mould, tap the full mould a few times on the counter to allow the air bubbles to rise to the surface. Empty the mould and scrape the edges clean. Place the mould in the fridge for 25-30 minutes.

3

Prepare 125 g FunCakes Mix for Buttercream according to the instructions on the package, flavour with the flavour paste of your choice and place in a decorating bag.

4

Fill the half chocolates with a little bit of buttercream or FunCakes Rich Caramel which you have slightly heated in the microwave. Make sure the filling does not rise above the mould. Let the filling set in the fridge.

5

Finally, fill the mould with chocolate and scrape it off with the scraper. Put this back into the fridge and leave to cool down thoroughly.

6

Carefully tap the chocolates out of the mould on your countertop. Powder some of the bonbons with a soft brush and the FunCakes Sparkle Dust. You can drizzle another colour of chocolate over other bonbons. Let this harden in the fridge again.
