Instructions
- In a heatproof bowl, place 12 oz (340g) of chopped semisweet chocolate.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup (120ml) of heavy cream and 2 tbsp (30g) of unsalted butter over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute to soften the chocolate.

- Drizzle each truffle with 1/4 cup (60ml) of caramel sauce.
- Refrigerate the truffles for 15 minutes to set the caramel drizzle.
- Place 1/4 cup (30g) of cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy!
