Dreamsicle Truffle

Remember chasing the ice cream truck for a dreamsicle? This is that memory, hand-dipped. A white chocolate ganache infused with orange cream, coated in orange chocolate brightened with real orange oil, and finished with a white chocolate drizzle — sunshine in truffle form.

It’s one of the most colorful residents of our truffle case, and a favorite of kids and kids-at-heart in equal measure.

Dark Chocolate Truffle

No flavors, no toppings, no distractions — the dark chocolate truffle is chocolate squared. We make a silky dark chocolate ganache, roll it, and dip it in more dark chocolate, because when the ingredient is this good, the best recipe is more of it.

Every truffle in our case is made by hand in small batches. If you’re building a box, this is the anchor — surround it with wilder flavors like key lime, dreamsicle, and champagne, and let it hold the center.

Peanut Butter Truffle

Peanut butter and chocolate is a rivalry-free zone, and this truffle is the proof: a chunky peanut butter ganache flecked with crunchy peanut chips, hand-dipped in creamy milk chocolate. Richer than a peanut butter cup, smoother than a candy bar, and gone faster than either.

Made in small batches at our shops. If this is your flavor family, our peanut butter cups and Tiger Butter are close cousins worth meeting.

Mint Truffle

Cool, creamy, and unmistakable in the case with its pale green shell, the mint truffle wraps a milk chocolate ganache infused with mint inside a light green chocolate coating, finished with a milk chocolate drizzle. It’s the after-dinner mint all grown up.

Like all our truffles, it’s made by hand in small batches at our Black Hills shops. Mint and chocolate people, this is your candy; everyone else, one bite tends to convert.

Lemon Truffle

Bright, clean, and just tart enough, the lemon truffle folds real lemon flavor into a white chocolate ganache and seals it in a sunny yellow shell. It’s the palate-cleanser of the truffle case — the one to reach for between the heavier chocolates, or to stack into a box for the citrus lover in your life.

Hand-dipped in small batches, like everything in our case.

Wedding Cake Truffle

Nathan Kobielusz — Thu, 12 May 2016 03:53:02 +0000

This truffle has a love story: we created it to honor the April wedding of Mark and Erika, and it’s been celebrating with our customers ever since. A white chocolate ganache infused with traditional vanilla cake flavor, dipped in white chocolate and dressed up with edible silver glitter — wedding cake in a single elegant bite.

A favorite for bridal showers, anniversaries, and anyone who believes cake is a feeling, not just a food.

Champagne Truffle

Nathan Kobielusz — Thu, 12 May 2016 03:30:31 +0000

The dressiest truffle we make: a white chocolate ganache infused with champagne, dipped in white chocolate, and finished with edible gold glitter. It looks like a celebration and tastes like one too — delicate, creamy, with that faint champagne brightness at the end.

A natural for weddings, anniversaries, New Year’s Eve, and Tuesdays that deserve better. Pair it with the wedding cake truffle and you’ve got the whole reception in a box.

Cheesecake Truffle

All the tang and richness of cheesecake, packed into one hand-dipped bite. The cheesecake truffle starts with a white chocolate ganache infused with cheesecake flavor, gets a smooth white chocolate shell, and finishes with a graham cracker crumble — because a cheesecake without the crust is just showing off.

One of the most-loved truffles in our case, and a natural partner to the key lime truffle if you’re assembling a dessert-themed box.

Espresso Truffle

Nathan Kobielusz — Tue, 10 May 2016 04:00:30 +0000

For the coffee-and-chocolate faithful: a ganache infused with real espresso, hand-dipped in milk chocolate, and crowned with a whole espresso bean so there’s no mistaking what you’re in for. The coffee is genuine and generous, the chocolate smooth, and the combination exactly what it should be.

Pairs perfectly with our dark chocolate covered espresso beans if you like your afternoons ambitious.

Raspberry Truffle

Nathan Kobielusz — Tue, 10 May 2016 03:10:20 +0000

Raspberry and chocolate is one of the great partnerships, and this truffle keeps it simple: a milk chocolate ganache infused with raspberry, dipped in milk chocolate, and topped with red nonpareils so you can find it in the box. Fruity, rich, and reliably the first empty spot in a sampler.

Made by hand in our Black Hills kitchens — sugar-free raspberry cremes are in the case next door if you’re shopping for both.
