Frequently Asked Questions

What Makes Donnelly Chocolates unique?

Our chocolates are made in small batches with the best ingredients. We use top quality ingredients from around the world. We have tested and developed recipes and techniques for thirteen years.

What is the difference between a truffle and a ganache bon bon?

The difference at Donnelly Chocolates is the shape. The fillings in both cases is a blend of cream or non dairy alternative (such as soy milk,rice milk or coconut milk), chocolate and natural flavoring. Soy milk truffles and other non dairy truffles and ganaches will only be put in your box on request. Truffles are made in irregular shapes and rolled in chocolate then cocoa powder or shaved chocolate. They look like the fungus truffles. Ganache chocolates have a similar filling but are piped into molds or dipped by hand.
