ENGLISH VERSION OF THE E-BOOK

194 pages of expert-tested techniques, recipes, and troubleshooting guidance.

The comprehensive e-book that helps you create beautiful chocolate bonbons with great taste, perfect texture, and long shelf life.

All without the mess, stress, or mystery.

Immediately after your purchase, you will receive an email with a download link to the e-book and all accompanying bonuses.

You envision holding a shiny, flawless bonbon, hearing that satisfying snap, and knowing you made it from start to finish – and you nailed it.

But instead, you find yourself with chocolate up your sleeves, second-guessing every step, and wondering how the shine disappeared somewhere between tempering and unmoulding – again.

Let us change that.

CHOCOLATE BONBONS – The Practical Guide is your step-by-step system to finally take the frustration out of bonbon making. Whether you are a beginner dreaming of your first successful batch or an experienced chocolate maker aiming to refine your techniques, this guide is crafted to help you – just as it has already helped chocolate makers worldwide transform both their process and results.

Many of my readers refer to it as their ‘Chocolate Bible’ – and for good reason.

No more guesswork. No more trial and error.


Inside this 194-page e-book, you will learn how to:
Temper chocolate and coloured cocoa butter like a professional (and understand why it works)
Create fillings with great taste, perfect texture, and a shelf life of 2 months
Achieve mirror-like shine with my 3 Simple Steps to Shine
Ensure your bonbons release from the moulds effortlessly – every single time
Work with coloured cocoa butter and airbrush techniques – with detailed instructions guiding you through each step, enabling you to craft edible chocolate masterpieces
Avoid common mistakes such as dull spots on your finished chocolate bonbons or cocoa butter remaining in the mould instead of adhering to the bonbons.

All temperatures are provided in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, so you can follow every technique with ease – no conversions needed.

 

Backed by more than a decade of hands-on experience and 5-star reviews
Readers say this guide is not just informative – it is transformative. You will gain clarity over every step, control over every detail, and consistent success with your chocolate bonbons. 


This is not the place for vague advice or confusing jargon – just clear and practical guidance from start to finish:
Fail-safe tempering, fillings that taste heavenly, insights on using the right sugars for longer shelf life and perfect texture, recommended temperatures for moulds and kitchen at each stage, freezing without losing shine – and of course: how to get your airbrush to cooperate (including the two tips that resolve most airbrush issues).


You will also receive exclusive bonuses with the e-book:
💙 The Chocolate Troubleshooter – 48 page e-book of solutions for when things go wrong
💙 The Perfect Match – a flavour pairing guide for pairing bonbon shells and fillings
💙 Crunchy Salted Caramel 2.0 – a fail-safe recipe ensuring success, even if caramel has been challenging for you before


Prefer paper over screens?
Although CHOCOLATE BONBONS – The Practical Guide is an e-book, it is designed with print-friendliness in mind. You can print the entire guide or just the sections you need – the layout is clear and suitable for kitchen use.

Whether you prefer working from a tablet or a laptop at your kitchen tabletop – or flipping through printed pages next to your ingredients, the e-book works seamlessly, regardless of your preferred kitchen workflow.



Happiness guarantee:
This e-book is your pathway to creating beautiful chocolate bonbons with great taste, perfect texture, and long shelf life. It is the solution that helps you succeed in making chocolate bonbons you will be proud to serve.

I have poured my heart into this e-book, spent nearly a year testing and perfecting every detail, and over six months updating it to this second and improved edition you are receiving here. And all content is based on more than ten years of hands-on chocolate experience. 

I know this is the best resource for you to master the art of making chocolate bonbons – nothing has been left to chance.

And just to be sure: if, for any reason, you do not love CHOCOLATE BONBONS – The Practical Guide, contact me within 7 days, and I will refund your money – no questions asked.

I am confident that with this e-book in hand, you will elevate your chocolate bonbons to an entirely new level, and I look forward to seeing what you create!

A clearly written and explained masterpiece about chocolate
I have been given the opportunity to read the 2nd edition of the practical guide in advance. Tine, thank you for that. I have seen many beautiful changes and additions. Is it possible to improve a good book, yes it is. Tine proves it with this 2nd edition of the practical guide. A must for anyone who wants to get involved and/or delve into the wonderful world of chocolate. There is still so much to learn. For me this book is both a textbook and a source of inspiration.

A Must-Have Resource for Making Beautiful Bonbons!
The best reference book for successfully making beautiful shiny bonbons! And even if you already have the first edition, Tine’s new second edition comes with many new updates and added features: such as a new section on Chocolate Melters, proper storage of ingredients and extra (important) information on airbrushes. And you also really don’t want to miss out on her signature Smart Ganache Method!! Very highly recommend getting this book, in fact, it’s a must-have in my opinion! ❤️

Karina
An amazing resource to understand the process of bonbon making
Can you start working with chocolate by just following a recipe? You most likely can. However, if you really want to understand the process in detail, every aspect of tempering, fillings, designs, and everything around it, I highly recommend using this e-book. I am constantly coming back to this book to reread on different parts.

Very Informative
Excellent ebook, contains so much information from recipes, ingredients and processes. I have Callebaut's The Chocolatiers Kitchen and Grewelings Chocolate confections with of which are excellent books. Your ebooks are a lot handier to use on an tablet or phone whilst in the kitchen less space.
Excellent books..Thank-you.

Een geweldig boek, een mooie leidraad door de wereld van chocolade
Ik heb het boek in één ruk uitgelezen en dien te zeggen dat het heel leerzaam is. In een begrijpelijke taal wordt het ABC van chocolade uitgelegd, van het tempereren van cacaoboter en chocolade tot de wetenschap achter de bewerking van chocolade, met fijne recepten voor het zelf maken van heerlijke pralines en hoe ze een bijzondere en aantrekkelijke look te geven. Een echte aanrader.

Best purchase I've made
This e-book has been invaluable to me. When I first started my chocolate journey it was frustrating as I'd be getting different bits of information here and there and not necessarily the right information either. This book taught me in a linear way and covered everything. I'm so happy purchased it. The recipes are fantastic too! All my bon bons come out perfect now. Thanks for the wonderful book!

Amazing Resource
This book has been such a great resource for me! When I first started to experiment with chocolate, I was reading so many different websites, books, and resources and was not finding them helpful. (information overload)
And then I discovered this e-book! It has been a game changer! It is so well written and so easy to understand. There is the information as well as the science behind it! And the recipes that come with it are AMAZING!!
Could not recommend this book more! 5 STARS! If I could give it 6 I would :)

Jenn Luke
Informative and well written
I cannot recommend this book enough! I am a hobbyist chocolatier who has taken professional courses in the past. I've found Chocolate Bonbons to be the most well written and organized “go to” source for instruction and inspiration. Tine explains the processes in clear terms and has taught me additional tips and tricks to take my chocolate to a new level. I incorporated some of the included colour instruction and recipes into my Christmas chocolates and received rave reviews from the recipients. I have her other books as well and can't wait for the new chocolate bar instalment!

Chocolate
I have so enjoyed the purchase of this book it is full of knowledge I’m just about every subject in making a chocolate. I’ve recommended it to another friend who is going to purchase it also, I’ve been able to find all my supplies here quite readily. I’m looking forward to making all the recipes but I also purchased the book on no airbrush needed and that one I have put fully to the test and love l

Great Books!
Although all the books are great, I think the book Chocolate Chocolates - A Practical Guide is the most important book.
