Chocolate Truffles and the Day of Five Desserts

We had a version of these truffles years ago when travelling in Rhinebeck, New York. Touring the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) we had hoped to dine at one of their student run restaurants. Unfortunately, we had failed to reserve a table the requisite six weeks in advance. We settled for a dessert at a campus café. En route to the car, we encountered a lovely young woman with a tray of baked yummies. Evidently the pastry class had overproduced that day and the surplus was free for the taking. Later that evening, we ordered a three course prixe-fixe dinner that included dessert. The restaurant owner, the type who visited tables, learned we were from Arkansas. Small world, he used to spend summers here with his Grandma. Since we were practically kin, bananas foster soon arrived for preparation tableside. The truffles, dessert number five, accompanied the check.
