Why not call a filling with two kinds of chocolate double instead of triple?

because, as he wrote, there's no filling at all...it's just a praline made with 3 different kinds of chocolate (dark, white and milk-chocolate)...

Right, missed the filling thing, but the question stands: why call something with two kinds of chocolate a triple chocolate thing?

Because, in theory and only in theory*, they were made by superimposing three layers of different kind of chocolate, while the other kinds were made by adding the filling and covering it all with a shell of dark chocolate

 

*in practice, as they were not enough cold, they mixed a little

well, they are different...really different...

 

actually, purists (like me) don't consider milk nor white chocolate as true chocolate, but just another product with some chocolate in it...
