How to make chocolate caramel truffles

Start by placing the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low-medium heat. Cook it until the sugar dissolves, stirring with a wooden spoon until it turns into a caramel color.

Once the sugar has caramelized, remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the cream. Be prepared for some bubbling. Cook the mixture for about 1 or 2 minutes, stirring constantly until it becomes smooth. Then, remove it from the heat and add salt, vanilla extract, and chocolate. Stir everything well until it’s smooth and fully combined. If you’re using cocoa nibs, now is the time to stir them in. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool at room temperature.

Once cooled, refrigerate it for about 2 hours until it becomes firm enough to shape into balls. Using a teaspoon or a melon-baller, scoop out the truffle mixture and roll it between your palms to form 1-inch (3cm) balls. Roll the balls in cocoa powder or grated chocolate, then refrigerate them for at least half an hour before serving.

Hope you will try these decadent truffles and enjoy them as a delightful treat! If you do make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how they turn out for you.
