Lemon, Sweet Clover and Gold Bonbon
Medium
Makes: 40 pieces
  • Good to go
I love using local products like sweet clover leaf and be able to share it with collegues from around the globe. This flavor, that is known as Quebec's vanilla, pairs very well with callebaut Gold chocolate and the acidity of the lemon. The Mona Lisa bonbon cup makes the assembly of the different layers and textures very easy. I can then have a runny caramel in a bonbon without the need of molding.
