About Candies, truffles, prepared-from-recipe
Chocolate truffles are small, soft confections made from ganache — chocolate melted into warm cream and butter, chilled, rolled into balls and finished with a dusting of cocoa or a chocolate shell. Named for their resemblance to the prized fungus, they are among the richest of chocolates.
That richness shows in the numbers: about 510 calories per 100 grams, with roughly 34 grams of fat from the chocolate, cream and butter and around 45 grams of carbohydrate, of which about 38 grams is sugar. The cocoa contributes a little fiber and some minerals, but a truffle is an intensely rich, fat-and-sugar dessert. Sodium is low.
Truffles are designed to be eaten one or two at a time, slowly, which suits both their decadence and their calorie density. They are a classic gift and special-occasion sweet, with endless flavor variations from liqueurs to fruit and spice folded into the ganache.
