HOW much do you all love these?! We just can’t get enough of the Bon Bons dusty shell and how it turns into such chewy deliciousness!

We love ’em so much, that they just had to go into our brand new Luscious Love Box (because they are pink and just so sweet, obviously!).

Fancy winning a jar?

    bon bons…now there’s a brilliant choice for sweet of the week. I love all bon bons but especially the strawberry ones. Love how when you first tried a bon bon they were so completely not what you expected. so soft and chewy and full of flavour. Yum

  8. Denise Blythe says:

    Strawberry Bon Bons take me back to the old fashion sweet shops with jars and jars of sweeties all lined up on the shelves, so many to pick from but Strawberry Bon Bons we’re our top favourite, I think it was the powery sweet strawberry taste as you popped them in your mouth – Mmmmm! I can taste it now! Lovely!

  26. Louise MacGregor says:

    When I was just a child,
    Hungry, lost, sans vocation,
    The thought of these made me wild,
    Months of despertae delectation,
    A heavenly mix of guilty hands,
    Smeared with white-pink dust,
    And then the months of half-formed plans,
    “I must have them, I must, I must!”
    A centre that melts under my tongue,
    I innocently widen my eyes,
    Look, I wrote a poem about some,
    Please let me win this prize!

  29. Katy says:

    Bonbons are among the best

    Occasionally my Mum would take me to an old fashioned sweet shop near the cinema in Barrow in Furness and generally after staring at all the gynormous jars on the shelves around the shop, I would choose a quarter of Strawberry Bonbons. I loved the colour of them, the icing sugar dusty coating and the wonderful chewiness of the centre!

    Bonbons are heaven. The perfect mixture of sweet powderiness and chewy inside. They were 23p a quarter from the corner shop and they will forever remind me of sitting on the swings in the sunshine with my pink stripy paper bag full of bonbon goodness.

    Bonbon means “goodgood” and could not be more aptly named!
