Yield: 30

Materials

  • 26 Caramels
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Chocolate Melting Wafers
  • 1 ½ cups Chocolate Chips
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Shortening
  • Coarsely Ground Sea Salt. 

Instructions

  • Prepare a square baking that will be used to set the filling in. Wax paper, foil, or greasing can work.
    Remove an wrapping from the caramels.
  • In a double boiler or using a microwave safe bowl, melt together the caramels, heavy cream and chocolate melting wafers. Stir the ingredients as they melt (constant on stove or every 20 second using microwave).
    Then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and refrigerate until set (about an hour).
  • Once the refrigerated mixture has set, use a scoop or large spoon to scoop up the individual truffles and roll them into balls, placing the balls on a wax paper lined (or silicon mat) rimmed baking sheet.
    Freeze the formed balls until they are set (about an hour).
  • To coat the truffle balls, use a microwave-safe bowl to melt the chocolate chips and the vegetable shortening (or coconut oil). Stop to stir the mixture every 20 seconds until smooth and melted.
  • Use a candy dipping tool or spoons to dip the truffle balls in the melted chocolate.
    Add any desired topping including the salt and allow the chocolate to harden and cool before enjoying.
