Belgian chocolatier Chef Remco Brigou is one big truffle maker

Sweet job: Chef Remco Brigou explained that tempering chocolate requires a lot of patience and the perfect temperature setting. (Right) He believes that one should always select good quality chocolate for truffles.

From carrots and peas to good ol’ chocolates, truffles conceal all kinds of delicious surprises.

Surprises aren't always fun, but when it comes to chocolate truffles, a little element of mystery definitely adds to their appeal. We usually never know what's ensconced inside these bite-sized chocolate shells until we take our first bite, and often times these chocolate truffles hold tasty ganache centres that simply melt in the mouth.
