Sweet finish

And so chocolate week concludes with the usual buffet, after a morning enrobing and decorating many of the bonbons.

We footed the bonbons decorated with coloured cocoa butter yesterday and were suitably impressed with the results of the different colour combinations and techniques. The contents of the bonbons were a wide variety of ganaches, as well as layered ganaches and the bars were snickers, bounty, Decadent bar, Winter bar (with cinnamon) and Turtles, and one called “Millefeuille” that resembled a nanaimo bar in cross section. All were shared around so we have a large variety of flavours to try at home. The citrus jelly was very discernible in the layered ganache and holds promise for further experimentation.
