🎄 Historical Overview
Truffles trace back to 19th-century France, where chocolatiers created these bite-sized confections to resemble the rare and luxurious truffle mushroom. Traditionally made with ganache and cocoa powder, modern truffles have transformed into colorful, creative treats. The Blue Christmas Truffle is a modern, wintry spin — its vibrant color and silky texture evoke snowy nights and frosty celebrations, blending elegance with holiday whimsy.
