Steps for Bon Bon Almond and Cherry Candies
First, to make these almond bon bons, finely chop the almonds. Preheat the oven to 340°F. Pour the almond flour obtained into the bowl with the granulated sugar, all dry and liquid aromas, the egg whites, and knead for a few minutes with a spatula or your hands to obtain a homogeneous and sticky dough. Once the dough is ready, form many balls of 20-30 g each and place a candied cherry in the center of each ball. Close them well and arrange them on a tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 340°F. Do not bake them further as they might become hard. Turn off the oven and let them cool completely.
Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie, pour in a teaspoon of rum or any other liquor, and dip the bon bons, coating them completely. Then place them on a tray lined with baking paper and let them dry. Once completely dry, decorate the surface with more melted dark chocolate.
And here they are, the bon bon almond and cherry candies. I hope you like this latest recipe of mine, see you next time friends.
