Description

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

Scale

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

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare brownies following package guidelines, ensuring a rich, fudgy texture.
  2. Allow brownies to cool thoroughly at room temperature, preventing crumbling during the next phase.
  3. Meticulously break down the cooled brownies into fine, uniform crumbs, discarding any tough outer edges.
  4. Incorporate caramel sauce and delicate sea salt flakes into the brownie crumbs, blending until the mixture achieves a cohesive, moldable consistency.
  5. Gently form compact, bite-sized spheres using the caramel-infused brownie mixture, maintaining consistent size for even coating.
  6. Refrigerate the formed truffles for approximately 15 minutes to firm up their structure and enhance handling.
  7. Prepare a coating station with melted chocolate, ensuring smooth and even coverage for the truffles.
  8. Carefully dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, using a fork to drain excess coating and create a pristine shell.
  9. Sprinkle additional sea salt flakes atop the chocolate-covered truffles for a sophisticated flavor contrast and visual appeal.
  10. Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until the chocolate sets completely.

Notes

  • Keep brownies slightly underbaked for a fudgier, more moist truffle texture that holds together perfectly.
  • Use gluten-free brownie mix to make these truffles celiac-friendly and equally delicious.
  • Chill the mixture for 15-20 minutes before rolling to make handling easier and prevent sticky hands.
  • Experiment with different salt types like Himalayan pink salt or smoked sea salt for unique flavor variations.
