For some people, one of life’s simple pleasures is an luscious piece of chocolate and an impeccable bourbon. These special Jacques Torres Chocolate Bonbons combine both of those items in a single bite.

Fans of Nailed It know the celebrated Jacques Torres. While he has endeared himself to fans of the show, the legendary chocolatier is more than a culinary competition judge. Anyone who has had the pleasure of enjoying one of his confections appreciates his immense talent.

Bourbon drinkers are well acquainted with Woodford Reserve. Beyond the Kentucky Derby, the classic bourbon brand deserves prime space on the shelf. From the traditional bourbon to other distillations, there is always a reason to raise a glass and toast to the good life.

Recently Jacques Torres Chocolate and Woodford partnered on a special offering that combines chocolate and bourbon in the best way possible. The limited-edition bonbons have people swooning over the delicious flavor combination.

According to sources, the bonbons pair a “60% Dark Belgian chocolate with Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon.” This particular bourbon has nutty, spice notes that play off the vanilla notes in the dark chocolate. With a hint of floral within the chocolate, the caramel flavors in the bourbon are more pronounced. It is a lovely expression of chocolate and bourbon.

In addition to being a superb bonbon, the sale of each limited-edition bonbon box benefits the Jacques Pépin Foundation. Both sale options of the 12 bonbon box benefit the foundation.

On the Jacques Torres website, the box is $27 and it will be available all holiday season. Proceeds benefit the foundation.

Via the Jacques Pépin Foundation website, the $65 purchase included a Commis level members. This special offer is available until November 12. Availability is limited. Bonbons will ship in December.
