Eight pieces of chocolate truffle in small cube shape - stock photo

A chocolate truffle is a type of chocolate confectionery, traditionally made with a chocolate ganache centre coated in chocolate, cocoa powder or chopped toasted nuts (typically hazelnuts, almonds or coconut), usually in a spherical, conical, or curved shape. Their name derives from their traditional shape, which resembles the truffle, an edible part of the tuber fungus.
