Tips:
- To ensure a smooth ganache, finely chop the chocolate and heat the cream until just simmering, stirring constantly. Avoid boiling the cream, as this can cause the chocolate to seize.
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. You can also experiment with different flavors of chocolate, such as dark, milk, or white.
- To create a variety of bonbons, try different fillings, such as caramel, fruit, or nuts. You can also add flavorings, such as vanilla extract, peppermint extract, or cinnamon.
- To achieve a shiny finish on the bonbons, temper the chocolate properly. This involves melting and cooling the chocolate in a specific way, which helps to stabilize the cocoa butter and prevent the chocolate from blooming.
- Store the bonbons in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They can be kept for up to 2 weeks.
