Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 chocolates
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Line a 12-cavity chocolate or mini muffin tray with paper or silicone liners to prevent sticking.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of simmering water. Ensure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Melt dark chocolate chips first, stirring continuously until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
- Using a small pastry brush or spoon, coat the bottom and sides of each muffin cavity with a thin layer of melted dark chocolate. Ensure an even coating that covers the entire interior.
- Place the chocolate-lined tray in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate layer to set and harden.
- In a separate small bowl, mix caramel sauce with sea salt, stirring until well combined.
- Remove the chocolate-lined tray from the refrigerator and carefully add a small dollop of salted caramel sauce into the center of each chocolate shell, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Melt milk chocolate chips using the same double boiler method, stirring until completely smooth.
- Carefully pour melted milk chocolate over the caramel, ensuring it completely covers and seals the caramel filling.
- Tap the tray gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles and create a smooth surface.
- Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of each chocolate for extra flavor and decoration.
- Refrigerate the chocolates for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
- Gently remove the salted caramel stuffed chocolates from the tray and serve at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Tips
- Use Quality Chocolate: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality dark and milk chocolate chips. The better the chocolate, the more delicious your final product will be!
- Perfectly Set Chocolate: Make sure to let the chocolate layers set in the refrigerator for the recommended time. This ensures a firm and satisfying bite.
- Customize Your Caramel: Feel free to experiment with different caramel sauces or add a hint of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
- Control the Salt: Adjust the amount of sea salt to your taste preference. A little goes a long way, so start with a pinch and add more if desired.
- Presentation Matters: For an elegant touch, consider using decorative liners for your chocolates. They not only prevent sticking but also enhance the visual appeal.
- Serve at Room Temperature: For the best flavor and texture, allow the chocolates to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to a week, but we doubt they’ll last that long!
