Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped
Cocoa powder or crushed sea salt for coating
Directions:
In a saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula as the sugar begins to melt.
Once the sugar is completely melted and turns a golden amber color, carefully add the butter and stir until melted.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring (the mixture will bubble vigorously). Allow to boil for a minute.
Remove from heat and stir in the sea salt and vanilla extract. Let the caramel cool completely.
Once cooled, form the caramel into small balls and freeze them for about 2 hours until firm.
Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave.
Dip each caramel ball into the melted chocolate, then roll in cocoa powder or sprinkle with crushed sea salt.
Let the truffles set on a parchment-lined tray in the refrigerator.
Serve chilled. These Salted Caramel Truffles offer a delightful blend of sweet and salty flavors, enrobed in rich dark chocolate, perfect for a luxurious treat.
