Choc & Moi’s Easy Chocolate Bonbons

Your shopping list…

• 300g of couverture Belgian chocolate (either dark or milk)
• Rainbow sprinkles (or Easter sprinkles!)
• 10 small patty pans

What you’ll need…

• Bowl
• Spatula
• Thermometer
• Piping bag

Now let’s make some chocolate magic together!

1. Break 250 grams of chocolate into small pieces and place into your bowl.
2. Melt the chocolate for 30 seconds in the microwave and mix thoroughly with your spatula.
3. Continue to melt the chocolate in 30-second bursts, stirring each time. 
4. Once the chocolate is nearly melted, check the temperature with a thermometer until it reaches 45°C.
5. Add the remaining 50 grams of chocolate into your bowl to cool down the melted chocolate to 30°C (this is an easy way to temper chocolate!).
6. Fill a piping bag with the tempered chocolate you’ve made.
7. Using the piping bag, fill your patty pans with chocolate by squeezing it slowly and moving in a circular motion.
8. Once formed in your patty pans, decorate with sprinkles on top.
9. Let your chocolate bonbons set in a cool place (under 22°C) or we recommend using your fridge if it’s a warm Autumn day.

Enjoy!
