Truffles are delicious little balls of goodness and the perfect one-bite wonders. They are usually very luxurious, chocolaty, and nutty, and just having one is almost impossible. They are called truffles as they resemble the true fungi truffles that are found underground.
These sweet truffles, however, make great after-dinner treats, and wrapping up a tin full of them makes a lovely and welcomed gift. You don’t have to stick to the traditional chocolate ganache recipe. As often is the case with vegan cooking and baking, you can get creative and conjure up your own delightful versions in the kitchen.
