Sounds a little bit like a tapenade that I made a while back with olives, figs and cocoa; have to give it a try.

On a related note I've always thought that black olives in brine (but with the salt not washed out) go really well with white chocolate. Get a cocktail stick and stick away!

The author says that there was "a bowl of fat, black Kalamata olives. I washed the salt out of them.." - so I would imagine it has to be olives in brine, not a marinated variety. Although the recipe truffles are mostly dates anyway, low on cocoa as well!

But after reading the ingredients list and observing that peppermint essence can be substituted for vanilla and even orange, I am becoming more skeptical about this recipe. Any thoughts on this?

At any rate, I've had olive oil bon bons before. I wasn't particularly impressed with them because the olive oil didn't add much real flavor, but I could definitely notice it was there.

I have never thought about using Olive for truffles. Thanks for the information.

Not a true ganache by any stretch of the imagination but I posted it incase someone was looking for something different as a chocolate desert.
