Espresso Sea Salt Caramel Truffles

This is truly my best candy ever. Ever!

A Gold Gift Box With 6 Truffles

I cook a rich and smooth “dulce de leche” caramel from my own recipe and flavor it with beautiful Mexican Vanilla instead of the regular extract. I fill a dark chocolate shell with a generous portion of this melt-in-your mouth goodness and seal it with more chocolate. Then I pour some melted white chocolate over the top and sprinkle it with a pinch of Espresso Sea Salt.

2 rich bites per truffle

Read some of my customers’ raving comments after this message from my sponsor (me):

A pinch of salt brings out the flavors of any food, especially so in caramels. To take this principle onto a true gourmet level, I use this wonderful sea salt blend with espresso grounds in the mix. Needless to say, a hint of coffee enhances the flavors of dark and white chocolate. So, here’s what you experience when you place one of these truffles into your mouth:

“You bite through the chocolate shell and you notice the texture and flavor of the caramel filling, while the salt crystals tickle your taste buds ever so lightly. But then – the “mingling” begins. The confection starts to melt in your mouth. The caramel blends with the chocolate and it seems like this is the best chocolate you’ve ever tasted. A few seconds later, light saltiness combined with a gentle touch of coffee creates a flavor explosion in your mouth. The working-together of all components gives you this gorgeous sensation of sweet luxury – the taste of a truly unique and exquisite candy. You are in ‘truffle heaven’!”

  “These truffles are delicious! I know, I ate a whole box of them.”
• Chef Jenni Field of Online Pastry Chef fame comments:
  “They are fabulous! I’m getting three boxes in the mail today that we are going to share w/friends. I’ve been lucky enough to help w/taste testing, and these are some of the best candies ever. Seriously.” Here’s the review of my candy on her fantastic site.
• Margaret L. from Alaska sent me this kind note:
  “O’golly – a year or so ago I had experienced salty chocolate truffles (purchased at Central Market in Poulsbo, WA) …. and this past Friday night I was at a friend’s house for dinner (and the husband said he liked salty items) … so I went home & googled salt chocolate truffles – your website was offered & I have to admit your site weaves a story anyone who is looking for playfulness and joy in their life would want to be a part of. So even though you provide the recipe, I didn’t think twice about ordering the “real deal” made by you.”

Allow me a few last remarks (excerpts from an online interview) before I tell you how to order these truffles for yourself:

“When President Obama revealed that his favorite candy is “Fran’s Chocolates” sea salt caramels in milk chocolate, this marvelous candy creation experienced a tremendous market boost. The combination of sea salt and caramel seems to be a “marriage made in heaven”! My only complaint with existing product was that the chocolate melted away much too fast in my mouth. I was left with nothing but a chunk of chewy, ordinary caramel. So I decided to take this idea to the next level…”

“I substitute Dulce de Leche for regular condensed milk in my hand-crafted caramel recipe. Instead of regular vanilla extract, I use Mexican Vanilla for its bold and beloved flavor profile. I found that espresso sea salt adds just the right hint of coffee to the aftertaste experience. By cooking the caramel to only 235 degrees F, I preserve the softness and melting quality of my candy.”

“So, when you enjoy one of my Espresso Sea Salt Caramel Truffles – the entire candy melts at the same rate in your mouth, mingling the chocolate with caramel and sea salt all the way down to the last bit of creamy sweetness on your tongue. This is my best candy ever. Ever.”

“There is no better concept for wedding favors or other sweet tokens of celebration – a divine marriage of favorite flavors taking you to culinary nirvana while your hearts go out to the happy subjects of the occasion. Please contact me for special candy shapes and volume discount packages.”
