Warming chai spice mix.  Rolled in a mixture of ginger, cardamom, black pepper, nutmeg and other delicious spices, these chai truffles are wonderful combination of taste sensations.

February's new truffle flavor is the exotic, tropical passion fruit.  A perfect balance of tartness and rich creamy texture, these alluring truffles are sure to put anyone in the mood.

Each creamy chocolate truffle center is made with bittersweet chocolate blended with butter and fresh Lewes Dairy cream.  The centers are then dipped into more luscious chocolate and then rolled in a bed of perfectly toasted, unsweetened coconut flakes, creating the perfect combination of smooth and crunchy.

Patti's tart-sweet combination of strawberries, balsamic vinegar, and black pepper made these truffles winners of First Prize in the Candy division and Grand Prize in the Professional Chef competition at the Rehoboth Beach Chocolate Festival last month!

Perfect for those who love the combination of chocolate and nuts.  Smooth, creamy chocolate centers, subtly flavored with Amaretto liqueur, are dipped into dark chocolate and rolled in toasted almonds.  Take a bite and you'll find the surprise!

I managed to save one bottle of Dogfish Head Brewery's limited edition World Wide Stout Beer.  This strong brew adds depth and complexity, with a subtle hint of roasted barley, to the wonderful chocolate flavor of a truffle.  These luscious truffles are sure to please serious fans of chocolate and beer alike.  And like the local beer that went into them, they will be available for only a short time!

Over the hot summer months, Patti took her inspiration from the French. After a lengthy vacation, she started perfecting her version of the original, French-style chocolate truffle. Made with no cream, these intense nuggets of chocolate perfection are rolled in cocoa powder, rather than being dipped into more chocolate.  These classic confections earned their name by their resemblance to the prized underground mushrooms - truffles.  They are the original "creme de la creme" among chocolates!

Organic sugar is caramelized to a deep, dark "burnt" mahogany and then spread thinly to create the crisp, bottom layer.  More burnt sugar is added to Lewes Dairy heavy cream to create a rich caramel flavor for the dark Ghirardelli chocolate truffle center, which is then dipped into more molten chocolate.

Slightly tart raspberries with subtly sweet ruby Port wine make these luscious truffles divine.
