Chèvre Truffles
"Truffles are traditionally made with ganache, a chocolate and cream mixture. In this case, it’s a chocolate and chèvre mixture, a bit of goaty indulgence, sweetened with maple syrup, then rolled into balls and coated in tempered chocolate, all before being sprinkled with a few grains of coarse salt. Watch Mark Scarbrough make a modified version of these truffles in this CHOW Tip video...."
