Very important thing, I forgot to say last time!

I was made aware of it by my friend after giving free not painted samples: the painted bonbons taste worse than natural ones. I tested it myself and it is true. The coating of CCB gives a waxy/ tasteless feel. Compared to plain chocolate which melts better and testes sweet. Do you observe the same with your bonbons?

The CCB is expensive and I was thrifty with it, yet still the downgrade in taste for the sake of appearance is here.

 

Thank you very much @pastrygirl for sharing pictures. Looks colorful even on dark.

 

Thank you @Kerry Beal for taking the time to dig the info for me! According to my calculation, Power flowers are slightly more expensive then making your own CCB, but almost 2x cheaper compared to ready CCB. Very promising. (Based on your post: 16 flowers/200g CB).
