North America’s Best Chocolate Truffles

What is a chocolate truffle? Is it handmade or molded, is it enrobed or dusted, is it smooth or bumpy? There is no one definition for a chocolate truffle except that it has to be delicious, and it always tastes like one of life’s great luxuries.

TasteTV and the International Chocolate Salon have selected some of the top chocolate truffles — and the artistry behind them — in North America. These truffles come from the East Coast, the West Coast, the middle planes, and even Canada. Their colors range from chocolate brown to butterfly incandescent, and some of the packaging is as elaborate as a Tiffany’s jewelry box.

If you are looking for some of the best on the continent, take a look at these and the results from our tasting panel’s luscious experience.
