These are the best peanut butter bonbons I've ever had! They're so rich and creamy, and the cocoa powder gives them a perfect chocolatey flavor.

The bonbons were a bit too hard for my liking, but I think that's because I didn't chill them for long enough. I'll definitely try again.

The bonbons were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
