Ingredients
- Dark Chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- Sweetened Condensed Milk
- Unsalted Butter
- Sea Salt
- Caramel Sauce (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Prepare the Caramel: If you’re making homemade caramel, start by combining sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then let it boil without stirring until it turns a golden brown color. Remove from heat and carefully add in butter and cream, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- Make the Fudge Base: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the sweetened condensed milk and dark chocolate. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Combine with Caramel: Once your fudge mixture is ready, fold in half of the cooled caramel sauce. Mix until well combined and remove from heat.
- Chill the Mixture: Pour the fudge mixture into a lined square baking dish and spread it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Form the Truffles: Once chilled, use a cookie scoop or your hands to form bite-sized balls from the fudge. Roll them gently to maintain a smooth surface.
- Coat the Truffles: Melt additional dark chocolate for coating. Dip each fudge ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully covered, and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Add the Finishing Touch: Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the coated truffles and sprinkle with flaky sea salt for that perfect salty-sweet balance.
- Chill Again: Let the truffles sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to set, then return to the fridge to firm up completely.
