Champagne Truffles Are The Boozy Holiday Treat Your Whole Squad Needs
When I arrived to Jacques Torres Chocolate in Brooklyn a few weeks ago, I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew I was going to make Champagne Truffles, I was hoping I could sip some champagne, and I was *really* nervous to work alongside Torres, who's famous for his confections (I mean come on, guys, his nickname is Mr. Chocolate). Fortunately, champagne was also on his mind - he was more than ready to pop some bottles.

Learning how to make truffles from the master was ... interesting. He schooled me with how quickly he could whip up an entire batch, from making a super-silky champagne ganache (SO GOOD) to filling the (cork-shaped!) chocolate truffle shells. Torres was quick to reprimand me, but all in good faith; he knew I was trying to get the hang of it.
After we finished, I had a serious buzz (cognac goes into the truffles, too!) and was ready to partyyy - and by that I mean eat an entire box of truffles to myself, which is incredibly easy to do because they MELT IN YOUR MOUTH. Truly. If you have a champagne lover and a chocolate lover, you need to get these for the holidays.
Champagne makes the heart grow fonder, right? RIGHT.
