National Chocolate-Covered Cashew Truffle Day

In the United States April 21st is National Chocolate-Covered Cashew Truffle Day.

There are national days. There are specific national days. And there are really, really specific national days. This is one of the latter. Not only is it a truffle, it's a cashew truffle. Not only is it a cashew truffle, it's one that has been covered in chocolate.

Truffles, in this case, are a type of chocolate confectionery. They typically have a chocolate ganache centre, but in this case cashew nuts (and cashews are actually a seed, not a nut) replace that ganache filling.

This is then covered with chocolate and, depending on the recipe, may also be decorated with other things, such as being dusted with cocoa powder.

There are also different types of truffles from different countries.
