Here’s a rich, velvety, Salted Caramel Truffles recipe — smooth centers, chocolate coating, and just the right touch of salt. Perfect for gifting or a luxurious bite-size treat!

🍬 Salted Caramel Truffles

Ingredients (Makes ~20–24 truffles)

Caramel Ganache Filling

1 cup soft caramels (about 20–25 pieces) or homemade caramel
2 tbsp heavy cream
½ cup white chocolate chips (helps the centers set creamy, not runny)
¼ tsp sea salt (or to taste)

Chocolate Coating

1½ cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother coating)

Finishing

Flaky sea salt (for topping)

Instructions

1. Make the Caramel Ganache

Add caramels and heavy cream to a small saucepan.
Heat on low, stirring until smooth and melted.
Remove from heat and add white chocolate chips, stirring until completely melted and silky.
Add sea salt to taste.
Let mixture cool 15–20 minutes, then refrigerate until firm enough to scoop (about 30–40 minutes).

2. Roll the Centers

Scoop heaping teaspoons of chilled caramel ganache and roll into balls.
Place onto a parchment-lined tray.
Freeze 10–15 minutes to firm them before dipping.

3. Prepare the Chocolate Coating

Melt chocolate chips + coconut oil in 20–30 second microwave intervals or over a double boiler.
Stir until smooth and glossy.

4. Dip the Truffles

Using a fork, dip each caramel ball into the melted chocolate.
Tap off excess and place back on the parchment.
Sprinkle immediately with flaky salt (before the chocolate sets).

5. Set & Store

Let truffles set at room temp or refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Store in an airtight container:
- Room temp: 3–4 days
- Fridge: up to 2 weeks
- Freezer: 1–2 months

⭐ Variations

Dark chocolate caramel truffles: use dark chocolate in both filling & coating.
Burnt caramel (slightly smoky): cook homemade caramel a bit darker before adding cream.
Caramel–espresso truffles: add ½ tsp espresso powder to the caramel mixture.
Salted caramel pecan truffles: roll the ganache balls in finely chopped toasted pecans before dipping.
