Chocolates and candy are delicious, but there is nothing like the smooth, creamy decadence of truffles. Truffles are a type of candy that are little balls of heaven. They’re named after the mushroom because of their classic shape, but that’s where the similarities end.

There are many kinds of truffles though most are usually made with chocolate. The center can be creamy chocolate, ganache, buttercream, nut butter or fruit. Then the candies are coated with cocoa powder, chocolate, chopped nuts or coconut.

Of course, you can get as creative as you want. Change up the types of nuts and nut butters – peanut butter is great but try macadamia butter, cashew butter, pistachios or pecans. Add fruit, superfoods, coconut or anything you like. Coat the truffles with deep, dark chocolate. Read How to Temper Chocolate and Fix It When It Goes Wrong.
