What is a truffle? A fungus? A chocolate with a center filing? According to Wikipedia a chocolate truffle is "a type of chocolate confectionery, traditionally made with a chocolate ganache center coated in chocolate or cocoa powder, usually in a spherical, conical, or curved shape. Other fillings may replace the ganache: cream, melted chocolate, caramel, nuts, almonds, berries, or other assorted sweet fruits, nougat, fudge, or toffee, mint, chocolate chips, marshmallow, and, popularly, liquor. They are named for their resemblance to the truffle fungus." Now you may ask what is a ganache? It is a filling made from chocolate and cream.
Chocolate bar line extensions seem to be very popular with the big three chocolate makers. In days past new candy bars would have have different and unique names. Created by Mars in 2009.
Smooth and shiny bar with swirls. Nice milk chocolate aroma and flavor. Not chewy like the regular bar of milk chocolate and nougat. Wafer doesn't taste like much.
Grade: C-. Very tiny bar with the low caloriesto match. Leaves me wanting more so I would probably eat two. In addition, it tasted like a 3 Musketeers but didn't have the texture or chewiness. Eat the real one! 170 cal/serving.
