Bonbon: Ladybugs and Bumble Bees
Bonbon translates to Sweet candy or Candy sweet. It's said to be spoken by children who naturally repeat two syllables for words, such as Mama, Papa and one more.
Centuries ago Gentlemen or Kings such as King Henry IV, would carry Bonbonnieres in their pockets to offer to the ladies. Some were so artistic to have gems embedded into the candy. It was a huge art form...I wondered if they carried them in tiny boxes so they didn't spoil? I can make a meal out of these when I'm on the go. They make a cute decoration for cakes other desserts as well.
Check out the video to see how I make them.
