Chocolate Dipped Bonbons- Week 12

Today’s class was all about “Hand Dipping”! We made an array of different candies such as, Mozartkuglen (Mozart Bonbon’s), Almond Joy’s, Grand Mariner Truffles, and Hazelnut Marzipan Bonbon’s. All of these candies where carefully hand dipped one by one into either Dark, or Milk Chocolate and garnished with White Chocolate.

These are the Mozartkuglen’s. Inside is a hand rolled chocolate nougat covered in a pistachio marzipan. We then hand dipped each one into Dark Chocolate drizzled with white chocolate and a light sprinkle of pistachio dust.

These rich velvety smooth chocolate Bonbon’s are infused with Grand Marnier. They are then hand dipped individually into rich dark chocolate and garnished with a julienne of candied organe peel.
