chocolate truffle
Rich chocolate ball
A chocolate truffle is a rich, bite-sized confection made from chocolate ganache, often rolled in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or tempered chocolate.
The name comes from the candy's resemblance to the prized fungus.
Truffles are associated with luxury and are popular gifts: a box of Belgian chocolate truffles.
