How it differs from similar foods
Compared to solid chocolate bars, truffles offer a softer, creamier interior. The milk chocolate variety is generally sweeter and milder than dark chocolate versions, with a less intense cocoa flavor. The ganache filling provides a distinct melt-away quality that is different from the snap of a solid chocolate piece.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
To maintain their quality, store any remaining truffles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Keep them in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out or absorbing unwanted flavors. Avoid refrigeration, as this can affect their texture and cause blooming.
