Ingredients
Scale
- 18 oz (510g) fudgy brownies, baked and cooled (homemade or store-bought)
- 20 pieces soft caramels, unwrapped (such as Werther’s Originals or Kraft)
- 2–3 tbsp (30–45 ml) heavy cream
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt (for caramel)
- 10 oz (285g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) neutral oil (coconut or vegetable)
- Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon, for sprinkling)
Instructions
- If making brownies from scratch, bake an 8×8-inch pan of fudgy brownies according to your recipe or box instructions. Let cool completely.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine unwrapped caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring often, until smooth and pourable (about 1-2 minutes). Stir in fine sea salt. Let cool until thick but scoopable.
- In a large bowl, crumble the brownies into fine crumbs using clean hands or a fork.
- Scoop about 1.5 tbsp of brownie mixture and flatten into a disc. Place about 1/2 tsp of salted caramel in the center. Fold the brownie around the caramel and roll into a ball, sealing the edges. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining mixture and caramel. Chill the truffles in the freezer for 15-20 minutes until firm.
- In a clean bowl, combine chocolate chips and oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back on the parchment. While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Let truffles set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10 minutes until chocolate is firm.
- Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
For best results, use fudgy brownies (not cakey). Chill truffles before dipping to prevent caramel leaks. Sprinkle flaky salt immediately after dipping for best adhesion. Store truffles chilled for best texture. Gluten-free and vegan adaptations are possible with appropriate ingredient swaps.
