It was one of his favorite plays of word. He would repeat it over and over until he got a reaction from us.<\/p>\n<p>In French, it meant bonbon sirop. Bon = good, so bonbon=goodgood? Get it? I always giggled when he renamed it this way.<\/p>\n<h5>Bonbon sirop is a type of cake prepared with gros sirop (sugarcane syrup) and a mix of sweet spices.<\/h5>\n<p>When we were young kids we loved grandma\u2019s bonbon sirop recipe. It was one of her many specialties, and perhaps all her grandkids\u2019 favorite specialty. Even though she had shared her recipe with us, up until I was a senior in high school that I was still requesting that she cook me a special batch. Somehow we couldn\u2019t beat her magic <a href=\"http:\/\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/grandmother-haitian-cordon-bleu\/\">cordon bleu<\/a> hands.<\/p>\n<h5>We had to have her bonbon sirop or no bonbon sirop at all.<\/h5>\n<p>I don\u2019t really remember when she started sending them home to us. All I know is that, as we became older and more demanding, we were requesting bonbon sirop from her so often that she started making pans devoted to a specific grandkid at a time.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2110\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/bonbon-sirop-recipe\/bonbon-sirop-haiti-gingerbread-cake\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/bonbon-sirop-haiti-gingerbread-cake.jpg?fit=1200%2C1800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"bonbon-sirop-haiti-gingerbread-cake\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/bonbon-sirop-haiti-gingerbread-cake.jpg?fit=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/bonbon-sirop-haiti-gingerbread-cake.jpg?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2110\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/bonbon-sirop-haiti-gingerbread-cake.jpg?resize=800%2C1200\" alt=\"This bonbon sirop recipe is packed with sweet spices and molasses.

Not only did we cry a little when one of us got sent a pan \u2013 we were four grandkids at my house \u2013 but we also complained when we found out she had sent a pan to another house and not to ours.<\/p>\n<p>As if requesting our own batch wasn\u2019t enough, we also started requesting that she send the bonbon in the pan it was cooked in. The reason? We loved the sticky syrupy crumbs that got stuck to the sides and bottom of the pan. We even managed to convince her that a rounded pan was the way to go so that we would get more gooey deliciousness. She gave in for otherwise, there would be too much arguing over who would get the most syrupy edges.<\/p>\n<p>I stopped eating bonbon sirop a couple of years ago when she couldn\u2019t prepare them anymore. Store-bought versions always left me disappointed as they were almost always on the dry side with strong spice flavors.<\/p>\n<h5>See, my grandmother made the best bonbon sirop ever.<\/h5>\n<p>Hers were chewy and gooey with just the right amount of spices and moisture. And I find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to beat her recipe.<\/p>\n<h5>Her bonbon sirop was simply unlike any other bonbon sirop. It was heaven!<\/h5>\n<p>Even though we have two of her bonbon sirop recipes, one of which I am sharing below, something tells me that all her grandkids will always feel the same way. We may find someone who makes them as well as she used to, or we may even master one of her recipes, but we will always miss one key ingredient\u2026<\/p>\n<p>That ingredient is our grandma\u2019s love for us, her grandchildren.<\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-2109\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"2109\" data-servings=\"0\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-chic\"><div class=\"wprm-container-float-right\">\n    <div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;border-radius: 3px;\" width=\"167\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/bonbon-sirop-haiti-gingerbread-cake.jpg?fit=167%2C250&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-250x250 size-250x250\" alt=\"This bonbon sirop recipe is packed with sweet spices and molasses.

refer to this special sweet treat. It was one of his favorite plays of word. He would repeat it over and over until he got a reaction from us. In French, it meant bonbon sirop. Bon = good, so bonbon=goodgood? Get it? I always giggled when he renamed it this way. Bonbon sirop is a type of cake prepared with gros sirop (sugarcane syrup) and a mix of sweet spices. When we were young kids we loved grandma\u2019s bonbon sirop recipe. It was one of her many specialties, and perhaps all her grandkids\u2019 favorite specialty. Even though she had shared her recipe with us, up until I was a senior in high school that I was still requesting that she cook me a special batch. Somehow we couldn\u2019t beat her magic cordon bleu hands. We had to have her bonbon sirop or no bonbon sirop at all. I don\u2019t really remember when she started sending them home to us. All I know is that, as we became older and more demanding, we were requesting bonbon sirop from her so often that she started making pans devoted to a specific grandkid at a time. It was her way of giving each of us individual attention, even though it still stirred some jealousy among us. Not only did we cry a little when one of us got sent a pan \u2013 we were four grandkids at my house \u2013 but we also complained when we found out she had sent a pan to another house and not to ours. As if requesting our own batch wasn\u2019t enough, we also started requesting that she send the bonbon in the pan it was cooked in. The reason? We loved the sticky syrupy crumbs that got stuck to the sides and bottom of the pan. We even managed to convince her that a rounded pan was the way to go so that we would get more gooey deliciousness. She gave in for otherwise, there would be too much arguing over who would get the most syrupy edges. I stopped eating bonbon sirop a couple of years ago when she couldn\u2019t prepare them anymore. Store-bought versions always left me disappointed as they were almost always on the dry side with strong spice flavors. See, my grandmother made the best bonbon sirop ever. Hers were chewy and gooey with just the right amount of spices and moisture. And I find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to beat her recipe. Her bonbon sirop was simply unlike any other bonbon sirop. It was heaven! Even though we have two of her bonbon sirop recipes, one of which I am sharing below, something tells me that all her grandkids will always feel the same way. We may find someone who makes them as well as she used to, or we may even master one of her recipes, but we will always miss one key ingredient\u2026 That ingredient is our grandma\u2019s love for us, her grandchildren. This bonbon sirop is made with dark sugarcane syrup and a combination of sweet spices. It&#8217;s one of my favorite treats from my grandmother. She used to prepare it with so much love.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2107,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":""},"categories":[4,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipes","category-sucres"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Bonbon sirop, a Haitian dark sugarcand &amp; sweet spices treat | Tchakayiti<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Bonbon sirop is a Haitian type of cake made with dark sugarcane syrup and sweet spices.
