The truffle is the simplest and chicest of confections, a bite-sized flavor bomb with just a touch of rustic charm. (The name reputedly derives from the Latin term for "lump.") In my life I have gladly braved cocoa dust down my front to enjoy them at every opportunity, but spending a few weeks here in Switzerland has given me an entirely new appreciation for them.
