Bat Bon Bons
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 0 minutes
Makes 12 BonBons
-
12 Ferrero Rondnoirs (or similar wrapped truffles)
-
Black cellophane (or dark blue, which was the closest I could find)
-
2 pegs
-
Black yarn
-
Invisible thread or fishing wire
-
Branches, the knobblier the better
Step 1 - Unwrap the cellophane. It usually comes folded in rectangles. Keep them in the rectangular shape but you want a connected double layer of cellophane. Place the Rondnoir in the centre and fold the cellophane around it as shown so that you end up with two "wings" and a ball in the centre. Secure each twist with a peg.
Step 2 - Cut a piece of yarn and tie each twist and remove the pegs. Now adjust the cellophane so that it is more bat wing like. I realise that sounds rather vague but it can be done with some playing around and the more you do it, the easier it will be. Cut out a scallop shape at the bottom of the "wings". Place in a bowl or if you can find them, on branches suspended with fishing wire.
