Salted caramel sauce
- Melt the sugar in a large saucepan over low/medium heat until a nice light golden caramel has formed. This process can take up to 20 minutes.

Seal the chocolates
- To do this, pour a small amount of the melted chocolate into a squeeze bottle and seal the opening with the chocolate with a small dot. Shake a little so that the chocolate can spread.
- Place the sealed chocolate truffles in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Prepare a bowl or loaf pan for rolling the chocolates. Sift the cocoa into the bowl and set aside.Criollo Cocoa powder
- In addition, prepare 20 chocolate paper molds so you can place the coated caramel truffles in the molds right away.
- Get your sealed chocolates out of the fridge and take 1-4 chocolates in one hand. Dip the fingers of your other hand into the melted couverture and use your chocolate-dipped hands to coat and roll those small balls.
- Once you have your caramel truffles nicely coated with couverture, place them in the prepared bowl of cocoa powder.
- Swirl the bowl back and forth to roll the chocolates with cocoa evenly.
- After covering the truffles with cocoa, place them directly into the paper molds. Keep doing this process for the remaining truffles.
- Store them in a cool place in an airtight container.
