The best chocolates of 2025, tested by a chocolatier

A bonbon is a small chocolate-coated confection filled with fruits, nuts, or luscious ganache. A good bondbon should have a thin, flawless shell free of Blemishes or Chalky White “Bloom.” It must be visually enticing, hinting at the flavor journey within. Most importantly, it should delver balanced, thoughtfully textured, and flavorful filings with no Air Pockets or Leaks. IT’s a tall order to Ask for a single bite of Candy, but Our Favorite Maker, Cacao & CardamomSteps up with style, intrigue, and worldly sophistication.

Each brilliant chocolate is meticulously lacquered with Vivid Cocoa Butter, Its Design Reflecting The Filling Inside. Beneath the surface, layers of jewel-toned, jammy, creamy, bold, and balance filming deliver a full composed dessert in one to two bits.
