A chocolate truffle is a type of chocolate confectionery, traditionally made with a chocolate ganache
Truffles are very pretty and appetizing. They are the best pair with Champagne or white wine! I tried several recipes but this recipe is my favorite. Every time I introduce this recipe, people would love it and ask me immediately after my recipe.
We will be using our homemade chocolate cake for our delicious truffles. Truffles are also a good idea as a gift to our loved ones. You can fancifully decorate every piece of it according to your creativity. You can beautifully pack them to add thrill and excitement to your receiver. Last Christmas vacation, I forgot a pack of it in our office fridge. When I came back after 4 weeks. They taste still very good.
