Whole Foods – Chocolate Truffles with Sea Salt

Sea salt on chocolate doesn’t appeal to you? Trust me you’ll love it. This combination is a growing trend with caramel as well. It’s truly delicious and heightens the chocolate tones and makes them irresistible. You can make them for gifts, but I have a feeling they won’t leave your house.

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate (I prefer Green & Black’s Organic)
  

  Organic condensed milk is available!

• 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (I prefer Green & Black’s Organic)
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla
• 8 ounces meltable milk chocolate
• 1 Tablespoon sea salt coarse

Directions:

Heat dark chocolates and condensed milk in a double broiler pan over medium low heat until chocolate is melted. Stir, mixture will have a slight marshmallow texture. Stir in vanilla. Remove from heat, cover and refrigerate for two hours. Once cooled, roll into balls and then place in freezer for 10-15 minutes to get hard again. While cooling a second time, melt milk chocolate in double broiler. Roll in melted chocolate to make coating. Place onto parchment paper and sprinkle with sea salt. Place in refrigerator or freezer for a few more minutes to harden again.

Freezing Directions:

Prepare as above. Store in freezer bag or plastic container until ready to serve.
