Truffles are bite-sized chocolate confections usually made from ganache, a mixture of chocolate and cream. Traditionally, truffles are formed into small balls and rolled in cocoa powder, giving them a rustic look reminiscent of their fungal namesakes. Truffles can also be dipped in chocolate for a more finished look, or the ganache can be used as a filling for molded chocolates. These truffle recipes range from basic chocolate truffles to candies with more elaborate, complex flavor schemes. Some are not even "truffles" in the traditional sense, but are instead given that name because of their small, round shape and chocolate coating. Whatever your preference, there are truffle recipes here to suit every taste. Be sure to check out the step-by-step photo tutorial showing how to make truffles.
