Caramel Chocolate Truffles
Caramel is another perfect flavor match with chocolate. I love these with after-dinner coffee.
Macadamia Nut Truffles
The rich flavor of macadamia nuts balances very well with the delicate sweetness of white chocolate. A slightly crunchy texture adds to the delight of each bite of these truffles.
Milk Chocolate Rum Coconut Truffles
The flavors of milk chocolate, rum, and coconut in these truffles complement each other perfectly.
Tropical Truffles
Lime zest, cream of coconut, and white chocolate are blended together to create a scrumptious flavor in these truffles. Cream of coconut is sold in cans, and is available in the baking or specialty foods section of most supermarkets, or in large liquor stores. Be sure to stir the cream of coconut thoroughly before using.
White Chocolate Ginger Truffles
The pungent flavor of crystallized ginger blends perfectly with the richness of white chocolate. These truffles have a slightly granular texture, which adds to the pleasure of eating them.
Gianduja Truffles
Gianduja is a blend of chocolate and hazelnuts. By itself it is delicious; as a truffle center it’s heavenly.

Mint adds a burst of fresh flavor to dark chocolate. These are the perfect truffles to serve after dinner, or anytime for that matter.
Whisky Raisin Truffles
Top-quality Scotch whisky, like Glenfiddich, is smooth and very tasty. When it’s combined with raisins and dark chocolate, the result is flavor heaven.
Five-Spice Truffles
Five-spice powder is a classic blend of star anise, clove, cinnamon, fennel, and pepper. Its intriguing licorice flavor adds extra intensity and depth to bittersweet chocolate in these truffles.
Gold Disks
These truffles are shaped into disks instead of balls, then dressed up with flakes of edible gold leaf for decoration. If the marvelous flavor doesn’t impress your family and friends, the look of these truffles will.

If you like almonds, these truffles are for you. California Truffles offer a bounty of almonds combined with dried apricots.
Italian Gianduja Truffles
These truffles combine bittersweet chocolate with hazelnut-and-chocolate Nutella to create a smooth and distinct flavor.

Orange and chocolate have a natural harmony. Candied orange peel imparts a chewy texture to these truffles.
Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Truffles
Madagascar grows some of the world’s most flavorful vanilla beans. Bourbon vanilla is not made with bourbon at all. It is named after the Bourbon kings of France, who brought vanilla cultivation to Madagascar during their rule. When vanilla and chocolate are combined, the flavor of both is enhanced and deepened.
Hazelnut Chocolate Truffles
The finely ground hazelnuts in these truffles add extra depth to the flavor and a delightful crunch to the texture. Absolutely no one eats just one of these truffles.
Mocha Truffles
Espresso coffee and chocolate are accented with coffee liqueur to produce a classic flavor combination. A candy coffee bean adorns the top of each truffle.

Raspberry and chocolate are a marvelous flavor combination. When you bite into one of these truffles, a burst of raspberry flavor is your reward.
