As kids we used to get this during christmas time. Mum and Dad would fill in lots of goodies and kutty kutty surprises in these bonbons and on christmas the bonbons were kept under the christmas tree with our names on it. Two of us would hold each end of the bonbon and pull it apart. The joy and excitement we got collecting what fell down from inside was the best part. Though it would just be some chocolates, pencils, rubbers etc. etc. we would feel as if we had collected some Alibaba treasure. Sigh!!! those were the days my friend......
See this one to get a better idea:
