A truffle is a type of chocolate confectionery that is typically made from a rich chocolate ganache center, which is often flavored with various ingredients like vanilla, liquor, or fruit. The ganache is rolled into small balls and then coated in a variety of toppings, such as cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or melted chocolate. Truffles are known for their smooth, creamy texture and intense flavor. They can be found in many different varieties, including dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate options. These delightful treats are often enjoyed as a luxurious dessert or given as gifts during special occasions.
