Chocolate Caramel Truffles

I’ve made these chocolate caramel truffles several times by now and wanted to share the recipe for a while because they are just so simple to make yet so delicious. They are the perfect afternoon snack and super easy to take to work if you’re in a rush. If you want you can add some sea- or Himalayan salt on top to give it an extra flavour. Keep them in the refrigerator or freezer and eat either chilled or let them soften a bit at room temperature!
