Description
These easy Nutella truffles are stuffed with a soft and chewy caramel and drizzled in chocolate. They’re rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious!
Ingredients
- 10 oz dark chocolate or semisweet, plus more for coating
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup Nutella
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 20 Werther’s Original Soft Caramels
- 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, measure out the chocolate. Set aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl, heat the heavy cream for about 1 minute. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a couple minutes. Make sure the chocolate is completely covered in the cream.
- Mix the chocolate and cream together until it’s smooth and shiny. Then, mix in the Nutella and melted butter until well combined.
- Let it sit out for about 15 minutes then cover in plastic wrap, pressing it against the surface of the mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Before taking the truffle mix out of the fridge, unwrap the caramels and roll them into balls.
- Taking a small cookie scoop (about 1-2 tablespoons) scoop out the truffle into your hand, press it flat, place the caramel in the center, and roll the truffle around it to conceal. Place on a small tray lined with wax paper and repeat. You should end up with about 20 truffles.
- If you want to roll them in chopped hazelnuts or cocoa powder, you can do that now. If not, place the truffles back in the fridge for 2 hours to set.
- Once chilled, prepare the chocolate to coat the truffles. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of chocolate and melt in the microwave in 30 second intervals until smooth.
- Using two forks, dunk a truffle into the chocolate to completely coat it. Scoop it out with the fork and tap it against the edge of your bowl a few times to let the excess chocolate drip off.
- Place it back on the same pan by sliding it off your fork using another fork at the base of the truffle.
- If you want to add some extra hazelnuts on top, you can do that now before the chocolate sets.
- Place the truffles back in the fridge for one hour to set.
- Do not serve cold as the caramel in the middle will be too hard. Let them sit out for about 15 minutes before eating. Enjoy!
