Rich, creamy, and decadently smooth, these Salted Caramel Fudge Truffles are the perfect bite-sized indulgence that melts in your mouth. Each truffle is a luxurious blend of silky chocolate ganache infused with buttery caramel, drizzled with golden caramel ribbons, and topped with a pinch of sea salt for that irresistible sweet-salty finish.

No candy thermometer or complicated steps required—just pure chocolatey joy with a gourmet touch. They look elegant, taste divine, and require only a handful of ingredients.

What Kind of Chocolate Should I Use?

The chocolate you choose makes all the difference. For the best results, go with a high-quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate bar instead of chocolate chips. The smoother melt and richer flavor elevate the entire experience. Look for at least 60% cacao for depth of flavor.

Ingredients for the Salted Caramel Fudge Truffles

• High-Quality Chocolate: Provides the rich base and luxurious texture of the truffle. Use baking chocolate or couverture.
• Heavy Cream: Blends with the chocolate to create a silky ganache that sets perfectly.
• Salted Caramel Sauce: Adds buttery sweetness and depth to the truffle center and as a finishing drizzle.
• Butter: A small amount of butter enhances the mouthfeel and helps the ganache stay creamy.
• Flaky Sea Salt: Finishing touch for a sweet and salty pop in every bite.

How To Make the Salted Caramel Fudge Truffles

Step 1: Prepare the Ganache Base

Chop your chocolate finely and place it in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer (do not boil), then pour it over the chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes to soften the chocolate.

Step 2: Stir and Infuse with Caramel

Gently stir the mixture until smooth. Add in the butter and 2 tablespoons of salted caramel sauce. Continue stirring until everything is fully combined and glossy.

Step 3: Chill and Set

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the ganache for 1 to 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop and roll.

Step 4: Shape the Truffles

Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out even portions of ganache and roll them into balls with your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.

Step 5: Decorate with Caramel and Salt

Warm the remaining caramel sauce slightly and drizzle it over each truffle. Finish by sprinkling a few flakes of sea salt on top. Chill again until set.
