Time 4h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup chopped pecans
½ cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons heavy cream
9 (1 ounce) squares semi-sweet baking chocolate, divided
⅛ teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt or Coarse Sea Salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
  • Heat sugar over medium-high heat in a heavy pan or Dutch oven, stirring constantly. When sugar begins to melt, stir and cook until sugar turns a rich golden color. If color is too light, caramel flavor will be too faint.
  • Remove caramelized sugar from heat; stir in cream. Return to heat and reduce heat to low. Cook and stir until caramel is well-dissolved into the cream. Remove from heat and stir in salt, vanilla, and half of the chocolate. Stir until chocolate has melted. Stir in toasted pecan bits.
  • Transfer mixture to a bowl and cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate until set, about an hour.
  • Form/roll into 24 small balls, about 3/4- to 1-inch, and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill 1 hour.
  • Place the remaining chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave on High for about 15 seconds; stir; continue to microwave in 15-second intervals until chocolate is melted.
  • Using a fork, roll the balls in the melted chocolate and place back on the parchment-lined bake sheet. Quickly sprinkle truffles with a few grains of Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt or Coarse Sea Salt. Chill to set, about an hour.

These truffles were a bit too rich for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less cream in the caramel filling.
