Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup salted caramel sauce
- 1½ cups white chocolate chips
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 1 cup dark or milk chocolate, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Fudge Mixture: Start by combining your sweetened condensed milk, salted caramel sauce, and white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Place this bowl over a pot of simmering water (a makeshift double boiler) and stir until everything melts into a smooth, glossy mixture. Here’s where the magic happens—once melted, stir in a sprinkle of fine sea salt. This little step is what gives your truffles their signature balance of sweet and salty.
- Set the Fudge: Line a square baking dish with parchment paper, making sure there’s a bit of overhang to help lift out the fudge later. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread it evenly. Pop it into the fridge for a couple of hours until it’s firm and set.
- Form the Truffles: Once the fudge has firmed up, lift it out using the parchment paper. Cut it into small squares and roll each one into a smooth ball with your hands. Don’t stress about perfection—these truffles are meant to have a homemade charm!
- Coat with Chocolate: Now for the fun part. Melt your dark or milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short intervals to avoid scorching. Dip each fudge ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffles on a parchment-lined tray.
- Let Them Set: Leave the coated truffles at room temperature to set, or speed things up by chilling them in the fridge. Once the chocolate is firm, your salted caramel truffles are ready to enjoy!
Notes
- Make it your own: Feel free to experiment with flavors. You can add a splash of vanilla extract to the fudge mixture or sprinkle a bit of flaky sea salt on top of the truffles before the chocolate sets.
- Storage: Keep your truffles in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for up to two weeks—but let’s be real, they’ll disappear long before then!
- Gifting idea: These truffles make a fantastic homemade gift. Wrap them in a decorative box or tin, and you’ve got a thoughtful, edible present for any occasion.
