A 72% single-origin Ecuadorian dark chocolate shell, hand-painted in a copper swirl, filled with a soft caramel made from Normandy butter and Halifax sea salt. Each one takes four days from start to finish — the caramel alone gets cooked three times before it's ready for the shell.
This is the bonbon Aline has been refining since 2018. The caramel pulls on the fork. The salt comes through on the finish. The shell snaps clean.
If you've never had a hand-painted bonbon, start here.
You can taste the four days in this one. The shell snaps with a clean, sharp cocoa hit — Ecuadorian single-origin, the 72% gives it depth without bitterness. The caramel hits second: soft, slow, not too sweet, the kind that pulls on the fork. The salt comes through on the finish, just enough to make you want another bite.
The salt + acid + caramel line up perfectly.
The bitterness balances the caramel.
Honestly, the best pairing is a fork and a chair.
One of these beats a dessert course.
