Chocolate Truffles
Chocolate Truffles are rich, smooth balls made from a ganache of heavy cream and semisweet chocolate disks. Once chilled, the ganache is scooped and rolled in cocoa powder or powdered sugar to create bite-sized confections with a creamy interior and a soft coating. They offer an intense chocolate flavor and melt easily on the tongue.
