I used to save these special treats just for Christmastime. But they're so easy and in such demand with my family that I now keep them on hand all year-round. As pretty as sugarplums, they make lovely gifts, too.

I'm not a big fan of lemon, but I really enjoyed these bonbons. The chocolate and lemon flavors complement each other perfectly.

The lemon cream filling is so smooth and creamy. It's the perfect filling for a chocolate bonbon.

The lemon cream filling was a bit too tart for my taste, but the bonbons were still very good.
