Chocolate truffles are ideal for those looking for something different, but equally tasty, to complement their Christmas dinner. The combination of chocolate with ingredients such as orange liqueur, rum, coffee or nuts makes these delicacies even more special, providing a touch of refinement that pleases all palates.
