A Dark Chocolate Truffle Gift Is What Your Favorite Chocoholic Longs For

The dark chocolate truffle is a rich,decadent but also very simple way to enjoy fine chocolate. The chocolate truffle was invented in 1895 by French chocolatier M. Dufour . It is now one of the most popular types of chocolate candy in the world.

A chocolate truffle starts with chocolate ganache,a mixture of butter,cream,chocolate and various flavorings such as vanilla,brandy and champagne. Fruit or nuts are also sometimes added. You can also find organic,non-dairy truffles for the vegetarian in your life.

The chocolate ganache turns into a truffle when it is chilled and scooped out then rolled in pure cocoa or coated with more melted chocolate. The name truffle comes from the typical round shape of the candies which resembles the fungus (mushroom) of the same name.

You're sure to find the perfect dark chocolate truffle gift for for someone special (or yourself!) among this list of fine chocolates. Or if you'd rather make your own you can buy most of the ingredients right here.

    Personally, I'm a big fan of the dark chocolate, but I know a lot of people that aren't into it or a bit picky about what types of chocolate they eat. This lens reminds me to take note when I have conversations about chocolate. I should probably know if they like it before I buy it, no? Cool lens.
