The Shape of Truffles: Square

Rounds of chocolate filled with ganache may well define the truffle, but not in the hands of Wendy-Dawn Wintcentsen. A ceramicist-turned-chocolatier, she’s a native of Trinidad now based in Brooklyn, New York, where she fashions square bites layered with chocolate, other flavors, candied fruits and even flowers for some truly beautiful confections that would make a lovely gift for Mom. They look like a mosaic in the box. — Truffolettes, $20 to $69 for assortments, truffolie.com.
