guacamole tidbit Explanation: Guacamole is not the same as avocado, and is as far as I know, a word and dish known to most English speakers. In this case I think by the word "bombón" they are referring to a small delicacy, not to the fact that it is sweet. Take a look at the definitions of "tidbit" and "bonbon" (of course it depends on your target audience, maybe outside the US this expression is not usual). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2014-02-03 16:31:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- How about "morsel"?

guacamole filled tartlet Explanation: This is the way I would use it or as *tartlet filled with guacamole bonbon*. *Guacamole bonbon filled tartlet* is to much of a mouthful for my taste but I imagine that is how many americans will say it. Second one is closer to the original but it does imply sweetness whereas *guacamole filled* does not.

Tartlet topped with guacamole bonbons Explanation: There are recipes for different types of savoury bonbon: http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g187437... and http://www.cocinario.es/recetas/bombon-salado-ferrero-de-foi... and http://www.dimasharif.com/2012/03/foie-gras-bon-bons-on-beet... and they look like little balls. They're not croquettes. I think they look and are designed to look like little sweets, like bonbons. |

Reference: Tartaleta Reference information: So far as I know it is a pastry in the form of a container or bowl filled with *stuff* more often than not *sweet stuff*. Here bombón implies that the filling is sweet and made out of avocado. Although guacamole is made out of avocado it is not the only ingredient. So I would say *guacamole bonbon*. Granted I have never seen sweet guacamole but who knows with nowadays fascination with mixing uncommon partners when cooking or baking.
