Bonbons are chocolates that are often spoken about with reverence – these chocolate confections are truly blissful! Chocolate making is more a science than an art: Once chocolate is melted — to be infused, blended, flavored, or shaped — the molecular bonds that give it its sheen, snap, and melt-on-your-tongue texture can only be brought together again by a skilled artisan. The process for melting and resetting chocolate is known as tempering, but there are a number of different ways in which chocolate can be melted and then reset, either on its own for a truffle coating or with another ingredient for a bonbon filling.
