Chocolate truffles

About chocolate truffles
A chocolate truffle is a type of chocolate confectionery, traditionally made with a chocolate ganache  center coated in chocolate or cocoa  powder, usually in a spherical, conical, or curved shape. Other fillings may replace the ganache: cream, melted chocolate, caramel, nuts, almonds, berries, or other assorted sweet fruits, nougat, fudge, or toffee, mint, chocolate chips, marshmallow, and, popularly, liquor.

They are named for their resemblance to the truffle fungus.
