Leap Day Truffles

I heard about the Leap Day Truffle and got all excited envisioning a gnarly hunk of fungus just waiting to be shaved for my tasting pleasure. Of course, Elizabeth Garber of The Best Chocolate in Town makes the *other* kind of truffle -- the chocolate kind and no less delicious. If you're looking for a way to celebrate Friday, February 29 this year, you'll want to look in to this option. These special edition truffles will be a milk-chocolate ganache center with ground pistachio and a burst of saffron, dipped in milk-chocolate and sprinkled with gold leaf. (They'll also be individually wrapped and numbered.)
