Main Ingredient:Binding and Flavor Enhancers:Texture Modifiers:Making Salted Caramel Brownie Truffles Made Simple
Step 1: Prepare Brownie Base
Preheat the oven and bake brownies following the package directions or your favorite homemade recipe. Allow the brownies to cool down completely at room temperature, which typically takes about 1-2 hours.
Step 2: Transform Brownies into Crumble
Break the cooled brownies into a large mixing bowl. Use your hands or a fork to create fine, uniform crumbs. Carefully remove any tough or crispy edges to ensure a smooth texture.
Step 3: Create Truffle Mixture
Ingredients for mixing:Combine all ingredients in the bowl. Gently fold and press the mixture until it forms a cohesive, moldable dough. The consistency should be slightly sticky and hold together when pressed.
Step 4: Shape Truffles
Use clean hands to roll the mixture into small, uniform balls. Place the formed truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. For best results, aim for bite-sized spheres about the size of a golf ball.
Step 5: Chill and Set
Transfer the baking sheet with truffles to the refrigerator. Let them firm up for approximately 30 minutes, which will help maintain their shape and enhance the flavor melding.
Step 6: Optional Chocolate Coating
Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Carefully dip each truffle, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place back on the parchment paper and sprinkle with additional sea salt if desired.
Step 7: Final Chill
Return the coated truffles to the refrigerator for a final setting period of 15-20 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Salted caramel brownie truffles melt chocolate lovers’ hearts with rich, indulgent layers of chocolate and caramel. Dark cocoa, silky ganache, and sea salt create a luxurious dessert experience that invites pure chocolate bliss.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 1 batch brownies (homemade or box mix, baked and cooled)
- 12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Seasoning:
- ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt (plus extra for garnish)
Optional Coating Ingredient:
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare brownies following package guidelines, ensuring a rich, fudgy texture.
- Allow brownies to cool thoroughly at room temperature, preventing crumbling during the next phase.
- Meticulously break down the cooled brownies into fine, uniform crumbs, discarding any tough outer edges.
- Incorporate caramel sauce and delicate sea salt flakes into the brownie crumbs, blending until the mixture achieves a cohesive, moldable consistency.
- Gently form compact, bite-sized spheres using the caramel-infused brownie mixture, maintaining consistent size for even coating.
- Refrigerate the formed truffles for approximately 15 minutes to firm up their structure and enhance handling.
- Prepare a coating station with melted chocolate, ensuring smooth and even coverage for the truffles.
- Carefully dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, using a fork to drain excess coating and create a pristine shell.
- Sprinkle additional sea salt flakes atop the chocolate-covered truffles for a sophisticated flavor contrast and visual appeal.
- Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until the chocolate sets completely.

- Chill the mixture for 15-20 minutes before rolling to make handling easier and prevent sticky hands.
