Ingredients
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 16 individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
1. Melt Time
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is silky smooth.
2. Sweeten It
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until everything is well-blended and smooth as velvet.
3. Chill Out
Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours, or until it is firm enough to roll.
4. Roll and Shape
Scoop and form small balls using about a tablespoon of the mixture for each. Place them on a lined baking sheet.
5. Swirl That Caramel
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
6. Drizzle Away
Using a spoon, drizzle the caramel sauce over each truffle for that irresistible, gooey finish.
7. Set and Serve
Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or in the fridge until the caramel is firm to the touch. Then, enjoy your delectable treat!
