[Lindt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lindor-dark-70) has expanded its ever-popular line of chocolates with the debut of [Dulce de Leche](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dulce-de-leche-cinnabon-delights) truffles.

For those unfamiliar, dulce de leche is a Latin American confection made by slowly heating sweetened milk to create a substance that's very similar to caramel. The new Lindt Dulce de Leche truffles take a silky milk chocolate shell and then fill it with a creamy dulce de leche center. The result is a rich chocolate-caramel flavor combination with a texture that can only be described as "irresistibly smooth." Best of all, each truffle is individually wrapped so they're perfect for sharing.

The new Dulce de Leche truffles can be found at [Target](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ferrero-rocher-presents) or online from the Lindt store.
