Salted Caramel Chocolate Truffles (4 Ingredients)
A smooth caramel-chocolate ganache, rolled by hand and dusted in cocoa for a slightly bitter edge against the sweetness inside. The fridge does the real work here — two hours of chilling turns a soft, pourable mixture into something firm enough to roll, with a center that stays just soft enough to melt on the tongue instead of snapping like fudge.

NOTES
1. Caramel* - If you want to make it easy on yourself, you can buy a jar of caramel paste or ready-made Dulce de Leche. But you can easily make this caramel paste yourself (recipe for Dulce de leche in 6 ways). TIP - When you make Dulce de leche yourself, make it a day in advance and let it cool down to room temperature.
2. Sea salt - If you have it at home, [eafl id="178734" name="Fleur de Sel" text="Fleur de Sel"] is the best. That is slightly less salty and releases its flavor more slowly than other sea salt types. But coarse sea salt is also possible.
3. Halloween Decoration (Optional) - The Halloween decoration is, of course, entirely optional. You can buy the Oreo cookies in the supermarket (just the original). You can purchase sugar eyes at an (online) cooking store.
4. Storage
- Refrigeration: Always keep truffles in the refrigerator. Outside of the refrigeration, they quickly become soft and sticky. You can keep them for three days after making them.
- Freezer - Pack the salted caramel chocolate truffles airtight and freeze. They will stay suitable for up to 3 months.
