These cookies have become a Christmas tradition in our family. They are easy to make ahead and freeze--just let them thaw THEN roll them in the powdered sugar. The cookies look like a typical tea cookie but there is always a surprise when you bite into it and discover the yummy cherry center. You will want to make a double batch.

- Temper your chocolate: Tempering chocolate is a process of heating and cooling it in a specific way to stabilize the cocoa butter. This makes the chocolate smooth and shiny, and prevents it from seizing.
- Use a variety of fillings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to filling your bonbons. Some popular options include ganache, buttercream, caramel, and fruit preserves. You can also get creative and try more unique fillings, such as bacon, cheese, or even chili peppers.
- Decorate your bonbons: Once your bonbons are filled, you can decorate them however you like. Some popular options include dipping them in melted chocolate, rolling them in chopped nuts or sprinkles, or drizzling them with caramel or white chocolate.
Conclusion:
Making bonbons at home is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little practice, you can create delicious and beautiful bonbons that will impress your friends and family. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
