MINT CHOCOLATE BONBONS
Steps:
- Spray a 24-count mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place an approximately 20-inch-long piece of plastic wrap over the muffin pan, leaving about 4 inches of excess plastic hanging over the ends of the pan. Press the plastic into each cup of the pan, making sure the cups are completely lined with the plastic wrap.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon measure, scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons ice cream into each muffin cup so they are filled to the top. Place a chocolate cookie on top of each ice cream-filled muffin cup and gently press down. Freeze until the ice cream hardens, about 3 hours.
- Place a wire rack over a baking sheet. Line a second baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Carefully remove the plastic wrap from the muffin pan to release the bonbons from the muffin cups. Place the bonbons cookie-side down on the baking sheet lined with the wire rack. Slowly pour some of the chocolate shell ice cream sauce over about 1 to 2 bonbons at a time to cover completely. Before the sauce hardens, sprinkle the top of the bonbon with the chopped mint candies. The sauce will harden in about 30 seconds, so continue to coat 1 to 2 bonbons at a time before topping them with the chopped candies, until all 24 are coated and topped.
- Transfer the bonbons from the rack to the parchment-lined baking sheet with an offset spatula or butter knife. If needed, dip the offset spatula in hot water, then use it to remove the bonbons from rack. (The hot spatula will help prevent the chocolate shell from cracking when you remove them.) Store in a resealable container in the freezer until ready to serve, for up to one week.

Tips:
- To get the best texture for your bonbon ganache, make sure to use high-quality chocolate and heavy cream.
- When making the ganache, do not bring the cream to a boil. This can cause the ganache to seize up and become grainy.
- When adding the flavoring to the ganache, be sure to use a high-quality extract or oil. This will help to ensure that your bonbons have a rich and flavorful taste.
- When tempering the chocolate, be sure to follow the instructions carefully. This is a delicate process, and if it is not done correctly, the chocolate will not set properly.
- When dipping the bonbons in the chocolate, be sure to use a fork or toothpick to help you. This will help to prevent the bonbons from getting too thick a coating of chocolate.
- When storing the bonbons, be sure to keep them in a cool, dry place. This will help to prevent them from melting or becoming discolored.

Chocolate almond bonbons are a delicious and elegant treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, showers, or any other special occasion.
