'Our bonbonnières are always a show stopping gift'
Our bonbonnières are inspired by a centuries-old European tradition, where hosts would present guests with beautifully crafted keepsake boxes filled with delicate sugar confections — a gesture symbolising celebration, generosity and good fortune.
Traditionally given at special occasions such as weddings, christenings and birthdays, these elegant boxes were designed to leave a lasting impression. Today, Rita Farhi bonbonnières continue this legacy, each one crafted from papier mâché and hand-painted, creating a truly unique and decorative gift.
Inside, discover an indulgent selection centred around rich dark chocolate-coated almonds. Carefully roasted almonds are enrobed in smooth dark chocolate and finished with a delicate cocoa dusting, enhancing their deep, intense flavour and satisfying crunch.
This harmonious combination of premium ingredients and expert craftsmanship delivers a refined chocolate experience — perfectly balanced, deeply indulgent, and beautifully presented for gifting.

What is the flavour experience of cocoa-dusted dark chocolate almonds?
Inside this hand-painted bonbonnière, carefully roasted almonds are enrobed in smooth dark chocolate and then finished with a delicate dusting of pure cocoa powder, which deepens the intensity of the flavour and adds a subtle, pleasingly dry textural contrast to the smooth chocolate shell beneath. This layering of dark chocolate and cocoa dust creates a confection of remarkable depth — bold, satisfying and unabashedly indulgent — that perfectly captures the essence of premium dark chocolate craftsmanship. It is a treat for those who take their cocoa seriously.
What tradition does this handmade bonbonnière carry forward?
Rita Farhi bonbonnières are rooted in a centuries-old European tradition of presenting beautifully crafted keepsake vessels filled with fine confections at moments of celebration — weddings, christenings, birthdays and anniversaries among them. Each bonbonnière is fashioned from papier mâché and individually hand-painted, ensuring that every piece is unique and carries the unmistakable mark of handmade artisanship. The vessel is designed not merely to contain the chocolates, but to be kept, displayed and treasured as a decorative object in its own right.
Is this bonbonnière a good choice for a serious dark chocolate lover?
For anyone who regards dark chocolate as the pinnacle of the chocolatier's art, this bonbonnière is an exceptionally fitting tribute. The combination of roasted almonds, smooth dark chocolate and a generous cocoa dusting creates a deeply intense yet beautifully nuanced flavour experience, while the palm oil free formulation ensures the cocoa flavour remains clean and uncompromised. At £20.00, the handmade bonbonnière pairs artisanal beauty with serious chocolate credentials, making it a gift that is as thoughtful in its conception as it is delicious in its execution.
