Ingredients
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk – creates a smooth, creamy fudge base.
- ¼ cup salted caramel sauce – adds rich caramel flavor throughout.

- ¼ tsp sea salt – enhances flavor and balances the sweetness.
- 1 cup dark or milk chocolate – melted for dipping and coating the truffles.
How to Make Salted Caramel Fudge Truffles
Step 1: Make the Fudge Base
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, salted caramel sauce, and white chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Step 2: Chill the Mixture
Stir in the sea salt. Pour the mixture into a lined baking dish and refrigerate for 3–4 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
Step 3: Roll into Truffles
Scoop the chilled fudge into small balls using a spoon or melon baller. Roll between your palms until smooth. Place each truffle on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 4: Coat in Chocolate
Melt the dark or milk chocolate using a microwave or double boiler. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Return them to the parchment paper.
Step 5: Set and Serve
Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster results. If desired, sprinkle with a little extra sea salt before the chocolate fully sets.
Serving & Storage Tips
- Storage: Keep truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Serving: Delicious chilled or at room temperature—either way, the texture is creamy and rich.
Helpful Notes
- Lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar to keep the mixture from sticking while rolling.
- Want a flavor boost? Add toppings like crushed pecans, toffee bits, or shredded coconut before the chocolate sets.
Pro Tips from the Pros
- Use high-quality chocolate for the coating—it melts smoother and tastes richer.
- Want a thicker chocolate shell? Chill the first coat, then dip again for a double layer of indulgence.
