Where were Truffles First Made?

In France and over 120 years ago.
Then they were rediscovered about 80 years ago, again in France.
They were covered in cocoa powder for easy handling and you can imagine what a rage they were.
I remember seeing them in America for the first time in an actual candy store. I think they were $3.50 each. It was super special to be able to have one.
Now we can make them at home and in a huge variety of flavors.

Hints and Tips for Making Cashew Butter Chocolate Truffles

To keep it vegan you will need to get a rice krispie type cereal that is at Whole Foods, Sprouts, and all the other Natural Foods grocery stores.
Use fair trade chocolate such as these organic equal exchange chocolate chips - this is just to give you a visual.
Use a small cookie scoop with a release mechanism to make it easier and neater to make the balls.
Use a couple of forks to roll the balls in the chocolate and to lift onto a rack to dry.
I used a toothpick to swirl the top into a pretty pattern as soon as I laid the coated ball down.
Follow these simple directions for Cashew Butter Chocolate Truffles and feel like an accomplished star.

What are Truffles?

Truffles are a round sometimes lumpy ball of sweet delicacies. Lots of times chocolate is a main component and sometimes it is the covering.
Have you ever heard of the mushrooms that are called truffles? Well, that is truly where chocolate truffles got their name and the first that were invented weren't as pretty as some of the ones we see today.
Mushroom truffles are super expensive and quite a delicacy. Chocolate mushrooms are also exactly that.
Expensive if you buy them in a gourmet store and always a delicacy. Always a delicacy and not expensive at all if you make them at home.
At least a lot less expensive. The varieties are endless and this Cashew Butter Chocolate Truffles recipe is one you have to make!

Storing and Freezing Chocolate Truffles

1 Hour and 20 minutes includes chilling time. Store in a tightly covered dish or tin.

They will keep in the fridge about 2 weeks or in the freezer for about 2 months. If they are stored in the fridge or frozen they won't be glossy chocolate anymore. They will be duller in sheen.

You may freeze them according to any of the directions in my article How to Prepare Food for the Freezer.
