Best Peppermint Chocolate Bonbons Recipes
PEPPERMINT CHOCOLATE BONBONS
I have not tried this recipe. I'm posting this recipe for a request from the boards. This recipe is from My Great Recipes. Although peppermint chocolate bonbons sound fancy and complicated, they are one of the simplest confections to prepare. The trick is to purchase real chocolate and then melt it over very low heat. It makes a thoughtful gift when packed in a decorative, reusable tin or box.

- Cover and chill about 1 or 2 hours until mixture is thick enough to shape or drop into small candy cups.
- Divide the mixture into 24 portions.

Steps:
- In a large pot set over medium heat, add the cream, sugar, sorbitol, inverted sugar, dextrose, peppermint and vanilla seeds, and cook until a candy thermometer inserted in the pot reads 113 degrees F. Cool the mixture to 95 degrees F.
- In a separate pot, heat the butter, dark chocolate and milk chocolate to melt, then cool the chocolate to 86 degrees F. Using an electric hand mixer, blend the chocolate with a little of the cream mixture. Slowly mix in the remaining cream mixture. Cool to 82 degrees F, then pipe into the bonbon molds and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
