Chocolate truffles are bite-sized confections made from rich chocolate ganache coated in chocolate, cocoa powder, or nuts. At Mueller Chocolate Co., our truffles are crafted with melt-in-your-mouth flavored dark chocolate ganache. While some people think of chocolate truffles as something fancy or complicated to find, the truth is they’re one of the most beloved classic chocolates ever created — simple, elegant, and made with love.
How Chocolate Truffles Are Made
At their core, chocolate truffles are all about texture and balance.
Each truffle begins with a ganache center — a rich blend of chocolate and cream — that’s cooled until firm, then shaped into bite-sized rounds. Once formed, the centers are coated in a smooth layer of chocolate and sometimes dusted with cocoa powder, nuts, or sea salt.
The result is the perfect harmony of textures: a crisp outer shell that gives way to a velvety, melt-in-your-mouth center. It’s this contrast — smooth, rich, and balanced — that makes chocolate truffles one of the most beloved confections in the world.
Types of Chocolate Truffles
No two truffles are the same. Over the years, we’ve perfected a collection that appeals to every chocolate lover:
- Milk Chocolate Truffles: Sweet, creamy, and smooth — perfect for anyone who loves a classic milk chocolate with a dark chocolate ganache center bite.
- Dark Chocolate Truffles: Rich and bold with a deeper dark chocolate flavor that is worth savoring
- Raspberry Truffles: Our raspberry truffles feature a smooth dark chocolate ganache infused with raspberry flavor — a rich, elegant combination of deep cocoa and bright berry notes
- Assorted Truffle Boxes: Beautifully packaged assortments that make elegant gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, or any special moment.
Each truffle is carefully coated, finished, and boxed fresh to ensure every bite is as perfect as the first.
Chocolate Truffle FAQ:
Why Are They Called “Truffles”?
Chocolate truffles get their name from the luxurious truffle mushrooms found in Europe. Early French chocolatiers noticed that their round, cocoa-dusted chocolate creations resembled the earthy mushrooms, and the name stuck.
Over time, chocolate truffles became known as a symbol of indulgence — a little bit fancy, a little bit nostalgic, and universally loved.
Are Chocolate Truffles Made with Real Truffles?
No — despite the name, chocolate truffles don’t contain mushrooms or truffle oil. They’re purely a chocolate confection, made for those who crave rich, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth sweetness.
The only thing they share with the original truffle is their round, rustic shape and reputation for luxury.
Do Chocolate Truffles Need to Be Refrigerated?
Chocolate truffles are best stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If your home tends to run warm, the chocolates can be kept in the refrigerator — make sure they’re in a sealed container to prevent moisture or odors from affecting them. Allow them to return to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
How Long Do Chocolate Truffles Last?
Chocolate truffles are best enjoyed within 2–3 weeks of purchase for the best flavor and texture. They’ll keep well at room temperature as long as they’re stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and strong odors.
