What are handmade bonbons?
Handmade bonbons are small, elegant chocolates with a crisp shell and a soft filling. Ours are crafted in small batches with premium ingredients and filled with rich dulce de leche, then finished in refined, gift-ready designs.
What makes a bonbon “artisanal,” and how are handmade bonbons different from mass-produced chocolates?
“Artisanal” here means made from scratch in small batches using high-quality ingredients—like single-source 64% dark chocolate and authentic imported dulce de leche—without preservatives. This hands-on process delivers fresher flavor, better texture, and more beautiful finishes than mass-produced candy.
Do you use real couverture chocolate for the bonbons?
We use real, non-GMO chocolate that lists cocoa butter and pure vanilla among its ingredients (not compound coating), and our line features single-source 64% dark chocolate. While we don’t label it “couverture” on the site, it’s real chocolate with cocoa butter—the standard for premium bonbons.
How long do handmade bonbons stay fresh?
For best taste and texture, enjoy within 2 weeks of receipt. Our chocolates are made without preservatives.
What’s the best way to store handmade bonbons?
Keep them out of sunlight in a cool, dry, odor-free place at 50–70°F (10–21°C). Refrigeration isn’t recommended.
Can I customize flavors or designs for events?
Yes—We support group orders, corporate gifts, and event gifting. Typical lead time is about 1 week (orders of ≤50 can ship within 4 business days). Reach out and we’ll coordinate flavors, assortments, and logistics for your event.
Where are your bonbons made?
Born in Argentina, made in California. Everything is hand-packed and shipped from our Oakland, California bakery.
How do you ship chocolate in warm weather?
We add ice packs and may hold shipments over a hot weekend to avoid melt. In summer, chocolate-only carts automatically switch to expedited methods at checkout; mixed carts should select a fast option.
