Did you know?
The word “truffle” is inspired by the truffle fungus due to their similar round shape and rich flavor.
Chocolate truffles were first created in France in the early 20th century.
They are traditionally made with ganache, a smooth blend of chocolate and cream.
Some truffles contain liqueurs or flavored extracts for unique tastes.
Drawbacks ⚠️
