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..
