NATIONAL TRUFFLE DAY – May 2

Traditionally, chocolatiers make this sweet confection with a chocolate ganache center coated in chocolate, icing, cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or coconut. They may include other delectable surprises in the truffle. For example, some candy makers include cream, melted chocolate, caramel, nuts, fruit, nougat, nougat, fudge, toffee, mint, marshmallow, or liqueur.

N. Petruccelli of Chambery, France, is thought to be the originator of the chocolate truffle in December 1895. Truffles became much more popular in 1902 in London when the Prestat Chocolate Shop opened in 1902. Prestat also sells "Napoleon III" truffles made to the original recipe.
