Strawberry Bonbons

What are Strawberry Bonbons? We hear you say. Well, I guess if you were born post-1980’s you can be forgiven for not knowing the answer to that question. A Strawberry Bonbon consists of a chewy centre in a crisp casing and a dusting of sweet and strawberry icing sugar. The strawberry casing has a nice strong flavour and then the middle bit is made up of firm toffee. What a combination!  How do you eat a Strawberry Bonbon? We’re not going to tell anyone how to eat their Bonbons, but you only really have two choices – Bite straight in and enjoy the soft centre immediately, or suck on the outer casing for a while before reaching the chewy surprise in the middle.  What’s the difference between a Starberry Bonbon and a Truffle? Truffles are typically filled with ganache and rolled in cocoa powder and/or nuts! Whereas bonbons are a classic hard sweet with a firm but chewy toffee centre. How much sugar is in a Strawberry Bonbon? About 5 grams per Bonbon. But we’re willing to bet that nobody in history has ever eaten just the one, So just multiply that by the amount you have (and don't feel guilty)!Strawberry Bonbon CocktailAt AQuarterOf.co.uk we’re always looking at interesting ways to enjoy our sweets.
