Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate, chips or chopped
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk one standard can
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp flaky sea salt for the fudge base
  • 8 oz soft chewy caramels, unwrapped and chopped
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream to melt caramels
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder for rolling, optional
  • 8 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped for dipping, optional
  • 1 tsp neutral oil to thin melted chocolate, optional
  • 0.25 tsp flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Line a sheet pan with parchment. Set out shallow bowls for coatings.
  • Melt chocolate, condensed milk, and butter in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, stirring until smooth.
  • Stir in vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Chill 20–30 minutes until scoopable.
  • Warm caramels with cream in a small saucepan on low. Stir until melted and glossy, then cool 5 minutes to thicken.
  • Scoop the chocolate mixture into 1-tablespoon portions. Press each portion into a small disc.
  • Spoon a dab of caramel in the center. Pinch closed and roll into a smooth ball.
  • Chill the truffles 15 minutes to firm up before coating.
  • For cocoa coating, roll truffles in cocoa powder. For a shell, melt dark chocolate with oil until smooth, then dip each truffle.
  • Finish with a light sprinkle of flaky salt. Chill until set, then serve.

Notes

Variation: Add a pinch of espresso powder to the fudge base for mocha-caramel truffles. For crunch, roll in finely chopped toasted pecans instead of cocoa. Storage: Keep chilled in an airtight container up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 2 months.
