If I had to choose one flavor-combo I cannot imagine what pastry world would be without it – it’s certainly chocolate and salted caramel. This is one of the classics in French patisserie, and I can’t think of even one person who doesn’t like these flavors combines.
These next truffles are a celebration of this amazing combo – salted caramel chocolate truffles. They are super decadent, chocolatey, rich and melt in the mouth. The salted caramel balances the sweetness of the chocolate, and together they created the most delicious bite.
If you like chocolate and salted caramel as much as I do – don’t miss this recipe. Easy to make, gluten free and simply perfect.
