Fun Food Holidays™ May 2nd is National Truffles Day

There is some uncertainty around the origins of National Truffles Day. Is this Fun Food Holiday meant to honor the exotic edible fungus, or the chocolate bon-bons of ganache inside a chocolate or cocoa powder coating? Judging by the overwhelming number of "truffles" recipes submitted to CDK, it must be the sweets that win the day!
