Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (18 oz) brownie mix or homemade fudgy brownies
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 20 soft caramel candies (about 7 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 1 cup pretzels, crushed (small twist pretzels recommended)
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil (optional, for chocolate coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare brownie mix: combine brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth.
  3. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 22-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Cool completely.
  4. Crumble cooled brownies into a large bowl. If too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons milk or cream to help mixture stick together.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt caramel candies with heavy cream in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Stir in flaky sea salt. Let cool for about 10 minutes until thickened.
  6. Take about 1 tablespoon of brownie mixture, flatten in your palm, and place 1/2 teaspoon of caramel filling in the center. Wrap brownie around caramel and roll into a ball. Repeat until all mixture is used (makes 18-24 truffles).
  7. Place truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20-30 minutes until firm.
  8. Place pretzels in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until you have small bits. Pour into a shallow bowl.
  9. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  10. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled truffle into melted chocolate, let excess drip off, then roll in crushed pretzels. Place back on parchment.
  11. Refrigerate truffles for 30 minutes until chocolate is firm.
  12. Serve chilled and sprinkle with extra flaky sea salt if desired.

Notes

Chill truffles before dipping for best results. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, use suitable brownie mix, pretzels, caramels, and chocolate chips. Truffles keep well in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months. For extra crunch, add pretzel pieces to the brownie base. Sprinkle extra sea salt on top for a flavor boost.
