Guava Bouchee

Yield
45 41-mm Hemisphere Confections
The full-bodied chocolate flavor of Guittard’s 72% cacao Coucher du Soleil offers a perfect base to the bright tropical notes that come from Boiron’s 100% Guava puree. It’s a triple-layered wonderhouse of tart balance and chocolate roundness that is as equally refreshing as it is indulgent.
