OUR CHOCOLATE BONBON PROCESS

#1 Custom Color Mix

Our process begins with formulating our custom color for each flavor of Bonbon.  Pure cacao butter is melted, tempered and mixed with natural dye extracts (food safe). This allows complete control over the colors that we use in our bonbon designs.

The Design

#2 Creative Approach

Yummyworks bonbon designs are always dynamic keeping our approach fresh and interesting. We utilize all sorts of creative methods for the chocolate mold design process including spraying, splattering, painting, brushing, sponging the colored cacao butter into the mold. There is really no limit to the imagination.

#3 Art of Shelling

Once our design is complete, we create a chocolate shell which will be the outer surface of our bonbon. We have a variety of couverture Valrhona chocolates to choose from and our selection of chocolate depends on the flavor that will pair best with the flavor of bonbon.

#4 The Filling

Our Yummyworks fillings are made from scratch, the right way. Our bonbons are layered with variety of options including ganache, caramel, fruit gels using natural fruit purees, & nut butters made from premium Bazzini filberts, peanuts, almonds, pistachios that are churned into silky smooth nut butter.

#5 Piping the Filling

Once our fillings have reached their desired temperature, they are tempered with silk (pure cacao butter crystals) and place into piping bags and each individually filled into their respective chocolate mold cavities. The bonbons then typically set up for about twelve hours to allow the fillings to properly crystallize.

#6 Close & Finish

After our delicious fillings have crystallized we spread a thin layer of chocolate and close the back of our bonbons to keep air from entering the cavity, ensuring they stay fresh. Our bonbon's shelf life is typically around four weeks for the best taste experience. Bonbons will last much longer if they are stored in cooler temperatures ranging from 63 to 68 degrees F. They are room temperature stable but best enjoyed eating around 68 degrees F. Bon Appetit

Chocolate Frogs were so beautiful. Almost too pretty to eat. I tried a piece of the salted caramel and lemon blueberry. I loved the lemon blueberry. The caramels are delicious as well. So Yummy!
