Truffles are a type of chocolate, but chocolate is merely a flavor of truffle. Chocolate truffles are a dessert delicacy that began in Europe. They are mainly made of ganache (a chocolate-based cream) and some type of coating.
The best gourmet chocolate truffles are the ones with a savory assortment of fillings. They come in different flavors such as Milk chocolate, Cappuccino, Cream brulee, Dark chocolate, White chocolate, Crispy caramel and Milk praline.
