Chocolate Mung Bean Paste Bon Bons~

Ha~ They weren't suppose to be bon bons ya. My initial intention was to make a thai dessert called Loog Choob (miniature fruits made from mung bean paste cooked in coconut milk). But i had trouble shaping them into fruits, so i gave up the idea and transformed them into bon bons. I shaped the mung bean paste into little balls, left them in the freezer for 1 hour then dipped them into melted chocolate before refrigeration.

The taste of the chocolate and mung bean paste blended quite well together. i reduced the sugar by 1/3 when i prepared the mung bean paste, so these bon bons were just right, not too sweet.

For those who are interested to challenge their creativity, can try the Loog Choob recipe from ThaiTable.com.
