The milk chocolate base is less intense, allowing the mint to be the primary aromatic note. The truffle format also provides a creamier, softer texture than many solid chocolate mint pieces.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their quality, store any remaining truffles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure they remain in their original wrappers or are transferred to an airtight container to prevent them from drying out or absorbing unwanted odors. Proper storage helps preserve their texture and flavor.
