Gateaux Bonbons image

I made these cookies very early on in my baking career for an elementary school project. My best friend back then helped by loaning me her Eiffel Tower and recipe, it was a very colourful card so vivid still in my mind. The project was a big hit and my class Loved the cookies i brought !! I thought of these a while ago and b/c of the wonderful internet was able to locate the recipe on-line, yahoo !!! I told my husband about this story long ago and recently he has tried these great little cookies, little different with the marmalade filling and very festive with the coloured icing.

These gateau bonbons were a disaster! The ganache seized and the praline was burnt. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I wouldn't recommend this gateau bonbons recipe. The ganache was too runny and the praline was too soft. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These gateau bonbons were okay, but I've had better. The ganache was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the praline was a bit too crunchy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was disappointed with this gateau bonbons recipe. The ganache was too thick and the praline was too hard. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These gateau bonbons were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. The ganache was smooth and creamy, and the praline was perfectly crunchy. I think I'll try making them again with a little less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but this gateau bonbons recipe changed my mind. The hazelnut praline added a wonderful depth of flavor, and the ganache was rich and decadent without being too heavy. I'll definitely be making this again!
