Who Invented Chocolate Truffles?
Chocolate truffles were actually invented by accident.
Can you believe such a delicious luxury was invented by accident?
I thought for sure it was from repeated trial and error, unlimited taste-testing and lots of creative tweaking of different recipes to get the perfect blend of chocolate and other flavors.
Because that is exactly what chocolate truffles taste like!
Little pieces of brilliant inventions from the kitchen.
But, alas!
It was a kitchen blunder that ignited the love for truffles.
Easy Chocolate Truffles are Simple to Make!
A french culinary master was training his apprentice when the apprentice botched up his original recipe.
When the apprentice tasted his yummy mistake, the amazing new flavor reminded him of some other delectable desserts.
The apprentice as well as the culinary master were more than pleased with this “culinary disaster.”
The outcome of this apprentice’s “oops” became quite popular among chocolate-loving countries.
Today, we have many versions of the well-loved truffle.
Truffles Have Transformed Through the Years
This recipe I am sharing with you today is a simple, classic version that keeps a busy, chocolate-lovin’ mom happy.

Wow, too easy! I may try these for a girls night out I have coming up!
This look scrumptious. . . . however I’m not a fan of maple. What other extract do you think would work? I’m thinking rum or brandy or almond. . . . Thanks! J
I would definitely go with almond—yum!
I am wondering once these are shaped and rolled in crushed walnuts if they need to be refrigerated… or could they be wrapped and given as a gift
I also think Orange flavoring would be very good… that is what i am going to try…..
thank you for sharing your recipes and time with us…
I always refrigerate them. Orange flavoring sounds like a nice twist!
I wonder if you could use butter instead of oil?
I wish I knew. I have never tried it. Maybe you could try a half batch to see. Or maybe another reader would know! I’m sorry I don’t know the answer! I try to use oil when possible because butter cost so much here. Let me know what you find out.:)
Maybe try butter flavoring to give them a more butter flavor!
Maybe try butter flavoring to give them a more butter flavor!
How long will they store in the refrigerator. I need to make them for my garden club and want to make them ahead
