Tribute to Brooklyn

NY Borough: Brooklyn
Black beer and Alunga™ milk chocolate ganache, Caracrakine™ malted crunchy
Chocolate used: Alunga™ milk chocolate 41% and Equateur dark chocolate 76% cacao
Inspiration: Bonbon shape is inspired by the two arches of the Brooklyn Bridge.
In the district of Brooklyn is a great tradition of small companies that produce beer, for this reason we proposed a bonbon with different textures of dark beer and a base crispy malted.
