These Salted Caramel Mocha truffles are indeed better than any store bought chocolate. The soft center with the crunch of chocolate, oh my, how can you resist?
Salted Caramel Mocha Truffles
Ingredients
- β cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 3 cups milk chocolate chips (about 2 bags)
- Β½ cup caramel bits
- 16 ounces Ghirardellis dark chocolate melting wafers
- sea salt, for garnish
Instructions
- Set up a double boiler with 1-2 inches of water in the bottom of a pot. Heat water over medium-high heat until boiling. Once boiling, add cream and heat until warm. Add butter until melted. Add espresso powder and milk chocolate chips. Stir until smooth.
- Add caramel bits, stirring until melted (this may take several minutes).
- Remove from heat and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until ganache becomes set.
- Scoop filling into 1 tablespoon balls and drop onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Freeze for one hour.
- Melt Ghirardelli Melting Chocolate according to package directions (this is the chocolate wafers in the resealable pouch).
- Dip each truffle on a toothpick into the melted chocolate, tapping the side of the bowl until the excess falls off. Drop onto the parchment paper and sprinkle immediately with sea salt. Repeat until finished.
Notes
- Store truffles in airtight container in refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Yum!! I want one now!! Ok… a dozen. What are caramel bits tho’?
They are made by Kraft, in a bag in the baking aisle (sometimes in the candy aisle). If you can’t find them, you can use regular caramels.
Totally agreed girl, coffee at home in your pjs is the best kind. π Then it just feels special when you do get a starbucks when your out too!
These truffles look and sound amazing! Love the salted caramel flavors, its my weak spot! Pinned this and totally trying!
I’ll take 20. Wait! Make that 50! These look divine!
I love truffles…and salt… and espresso… having a serious craving for one of these now!
Yum! I love anything salted caramel.
i would never turn this down. Never!
I am with ya…how can you turn down salted caramel?!
I am swooning over these truffles. That fudgy center is the best!
It’s crazy the amount of cash we have to spend on the things we NEED. I think we are in the wrong career field, lol.
I can’t wait to try this recipe. I know my whole family will love it!
I LUUUUUV the flavors you’ve got going on in these truffles Aimee!
Ouch….I hear you about the eye doctor visits! These look like some amazing truffles, though!
I love love salted caramel and the salted caramel mocha – adore!! These truffles are happening soon! Best way to relax after a costly appointment! Pinned!
Oooh, these look so special. I love that fudgy center! And with mocha. Wow.
Next time you hit Starbucks, buy a salted caramel cake pop and freeze it. It’s really good frozen.
But probably not as good as these!
I’ve never bought one of their cake pops!! But now I guess I should at least try it. π
Truffles are my favorite, classic flavor combo. So irresistible π
Ugh. Doctors!! So expensive. Truffles? AMAZING!
Mmmm these look SO delicious… And would be even better WITH a salted caramel mocha π
Oooh, I like that idea. With!!
Salted Caramel Mochas are my fave drink at Starbucks (other than Eggnog lattes but those are only in December) and i love the idea of having them in truffle form right in my own kitchen! Pinning this immediately! π
Oh the eggnog lattes…my favorite!! I think I need some eggnog latte truffles π
Oh man, these look delicious. I am a chocolate fiend. These wouldn’t last long at my house!
Oooh, these look awesome! And it totally reminded me that I haven’t had my first Salted Caramel Mocha yet this year!
You better run to Starbuck’s quick π Thanks for the pin Amanda!!
These look awesome and you make the best truffles! Patience of a Saint π
And the eye doctor, ouch. Isn’t it amazing how much you can spend going to the doctor and that’s even WITH insurance. My daughter’s broken arm from this spring seriously is costing me the equivalent of a decent car.
I need these! Pinned π
Yeah, there is a lot of “waiting” when it comes to truffles. But after making so many, it goes fast π
I hope your daughter’s arm is all healed up. We dealt with a broken wrist for over 3 months last summer. Cha-ching!
Thanks for the pin π
