✄Chocolate truffles were invented by Antoine Dufour in France. The original idea was suppose to be a ball of ganache or a ball of only chocolate and little cream. Most of the time they would flavor them by rolling them in cocoa. It was named after the black truffle fungus because it looked so dark. There was a legend that chocolate truffle were created in a kitchen of a french professional chef named Auguste Escoffer during the 1920s. One day he accidentally mixed hot cream into a bowl of chunks of chocolate instead of the bowl with sugar and eggs. After the mixture hardened he discovered that he could work with the chocolate mixture in his hand to make little spheres covered in cocoa powder. After that he was surprised that it looked so similar to the other truffles in Italy.
After a couple of years other people decided to make different kinds of truffles with different kinds of textures.There are also three different kinds of chocolate truffles: American, Swiss, Raw and European. Most of the time the chocolate truffles are covered with: cocoa powder, sugar, or chopped nuts.Many companies start making chocolate truffles and the competition increase which made the truffles cheaper and attracted more customers.What was shocking was that the actual truffle was actually a luxury food and eaten only by the high class and royal people.Now, there are many popular brands of chocolate truffles like Prestat, Neuhaus, Godiva, Lindor, Vosges Haut Chocolate, Fannie May, and the Chocolate Garden.
