Featuring five of our most chocolatey, nutty, buttery, and fruity cocoa origins, these velvety Truffles allow you to experience the full spectrum of flavors that may be found in our chocolate. Our Confectioners add only a few carefully chosen ingredients, enhancing the characteristic flavor notes of each origin; while the simple cube shape, pure ganache, and thin shell keep focus on the chocolate itself. 

The Truffles’ unique design incorporates the same custom gold patterns — created by Dandelion team members — that we use to differentiate cocoa origins on our bar wrappers. A detailed illustrated tasting guide offers notes on the cocoa origins.

Behind the Scenes

how the confections team works their magic to create hand-crafted, single-origin truffles

Step 1: Making Ganache

Our first step is making the single-origin ganache that will fill each truffle. We heat cream and a little glucose to a boil, pour the warm liquid over the chocolate, and emulsify the mixture using an immersion blender until it's smooth and glossy. We let the ganache cool while completing the rest of the process.

Step 2: Casting

This step involves using tempered chocolate to coat the insides of the chocolate molds. Chocolate is poured into a mold and spread evenly in each cavity. We use a vibrating table to remove any air pockets, then remove excess chocolate and scrape the mold clean once the shell is the right thickness.

Step 3: Filling

Once all of the shells are cast, we fill each truffle with single-origin ganache that's been cooled to 30°C. We fill each truffle with just about 9 grams of ganache.

Step 4: Capping

After the shells are filled with ganache and the ganache has crystallized, or set, we seal them with a layer of chocolate. Tempered chocolate is spread over the top of the mold, a gold-patterned transfer sheet is adhered, and the excess chocolate underneath the transfer sheet is scraped off.

Step 5: Unmolding

The molds are then cooled in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Once they are slightly chilled, we invert them onto a table, allowing the truffles to fall out of the mold.

Step 6: Boxing

The last step is boxing them. Each truffle is carefully placed in its origin's spot in the box and the box is sealed up and shipped to you!

Dandelion Chocolate Confection Team

Hand-Crafted by Our Confections Team

Head Chocolatier Nicholas Bonamico runs Dandelion’s Confections program; his small team produces our Single-Origin Truffle Collection, Single-Origin Chocolate Nut Spreads, and seasonal confections by hand. Nicholas takes inspiration from nature’s abundance in the Bay Area and around the world, as well as from confectionery tradition, and our team. We rely on farmers to grow cacao and other flavorful ingredients; upon chefs and mentors who've taught us; and on other teams’ fresh ideas and perspectives. My ultimate goal is for our many inspirations to meld in one delicious bite.
