    This is one of Nigella lawson’s recipe and you all know that her recipe never fails. I found this in one of her cookbook “Nigella Christmas”. I made it as soon as I saw that. Later took a few to my friends and everyone totally loved it and they asked for more.

    About Bonbons

    This bonbons tasted like rich rich chocolate truffles. It had a deep chocolate flavour from the cake as well as the dark chocolate. In her recipe she used christmas pudding, but I used chocolate cake and adjusted  few things as per my taste. I used the chocolate cake recipe from my blackforest cake. You could use any store bought chocolate cake or plum cake or make one at home..

    Cake Balls Recipe which taste so delicious and is easy to make as well. If you have leftover fruit cakes from christmas lying in the fridge then use that to make this. It is easy and tasty too.
