## Summary

Toffee bonbons are chewy toffee sweets dusted in icing sugar. Made with condensed milk, they suit vegetarians but contain milk. What else is in them.

## Description

In Britain, a bonbon is a hard sweet with a chewy centre, coated in icing sugar, and toffee is one of the flavours, along with strawberry, lemon and blue raspberry: see strawberry bonbons. Toffee bonbons have a chewy toffee centre inside a firmer shell, and they are sold loose, dusted in icing sugar rather than wrapped.
What is in them
Recipes vary between makers. Two examples show the range.
Sweets and Candy's toffee bonbons list sugar, glucose syrup, sweetened condensed whole milk, fully hydrogenated coconut fat, salt, dextrose, flavouring, gum arabic as a stabiliser and mono and diglycerides of fatty acids as an emulsifier. The retailer describes them as suitable for vegetarians.
Berrymans' dusted toffee bonbons list sugar, glucose syrup, sweetened condensed skimmed milk, palm oil, whey powder, cornflour, butter, salt, soya lecithin and natural flavouring. Berrymans marks them as vegetarian, gluten free and gelatine free, and sells them in a 605 g jar.
Both recipes use condensed milk for the toffee centre, and Berrymans adds butter and whey: see how is toffee made?
Allergy points
Milk. Both recipes contain milk, so toffee bonbons are not suitable for anyone with a milk allergy, or for vegans: see milk in sweetsSoya. Berrymans' recipe contains soya lecithin: see soya in sweetsNuts and gluten. Berrymans says its bonbons are packed in a factory that handles nuts, and Sweets and Candy says its facility also processes wheat, gluten, soya, peanuts and nuts: see which sweets contain nuts?
Loved or not
Berrymans itself says toffee bonbons divide opinion, with some people loving them and others not, depending on what they grew up eating.
