Chocolate Truffles NYC For The Holidays

By Allyson Burke


Entertaining for the holidays? Most hosts and hostesses will seek a new dessert to tantalize their guests. Chocolate truffles NYC are the best choice because they add unusually fine richness, sumptuous sweetness, and decadent passions to the meal. No dessert is more wonderful, chocolaty, and special in sensation than this hand-made, hand-rolled treat. Chocolate is the ingredient of lovers.

Once a simple affair, these bite-sized mouthfuls are traditionally made of a creamy, chocolaty butter paste called ganache, then dipped in ground nuts or cocoa powder. However, like other items which catch on, this dessert has a variety of contexts in which it is enjoyed and has expanded now to include more variety in its make up. Now, whether it is from the sweet shop or something you are making at home, the recipes, finishes, ingredients vary widely. Truffles come in myriad flavors with hard or soft coatings, fruit mixed in and a variety of nuts from hazelnuts to walnuts to macadamia.

Twice a year, especially, the signature versions, hand-crafted make a huge splash. Christmas and Valentines' are both times of year when these little beauties are thoroughly enjoyed, especially a hand rolled box custom designed for its content. There is almost no way to make that very special someone feel more desired, loved, or admired. You can purchase a little box at a sweet store, make them yourself at home, or dive into a sumptuous dozen made to order online.

Fine ingredients ultimately make a fine box of truffles. Whole creamy butter and an excellent quality cocoa that is fresh and aromatic make the candy turn out best. The recipes are not difficult and there is something very satisfying about creating them from scratch then watching faces fill with delight. Decorative wrappers and boxes give texture, color and mood to your creation.

Both our sweet version and the crusty grey, brown tuber dug from the ground by pigs in forests, bear the same name. It is a word derived from the Latin word for tuber or lump, and it calls to mind the mushroom like appearance which both the sweet and the delicacy have in common. Although many prefer them larger, most sweets will be the size of a walnut, covered in a favorite mix of sprinkled sweet meats or powdered cocoa or sugar, and served after or with dessert.

Originally from France, these delicious mouthfuls have spread to England, Italy and America, where each country varies the recipe using syrup or cream or butter or other to alter and enhance the confection. Many cooks will add a fine liqueur to the mix, or rum or brandy.

The vegan version replaces dairy products with nut butters, margarine, and rice or almond milk; carob for cocoa. These are quite wonderful and can be ordered from certain speciality confection shops or recipes can be found online.

For a very special gift, order online from exceptional companies. Most sites offer testimonials from satisfied customers. But given how easy they are to make, you may want to try your own hand. Chocolate truffles NYC lend elegance and exceptional delicious end to your meal. They are enjoyed the world over.
