About Us
Truffles E Truffles handmade chocolates was founded in 2008 by 10-year-old Adam DeBacker. Since then, he has rolled and sold over 60,000 truffles and saved profits from the business with a goal of opening a commercial storefront. Adam was chosen as the Voya Cares 2021 Entrepreneur of the Year and awarded grant money toward reaching that goal. Adam is a member of the American Culinary Federation. His truffles are available locally in Springfield, Missouri and by direct order.
"Freshly Made to be
Quickly Eaten"
Truffles E Truffles are freshly handmade to order. They include no preservatives and only a few simple, high-quality ingredients: dark chocolate (60% cacao), cream, and rolled in white chocolate, dark chocolate, or coconut. Seasonal flavors and toppings are announced by limited edition on our Facebook page. Truffles E Truffles are best consumed within 10 days of delivery. They can be refrigerated or frozen.
