Instructions
- Heat the dark chocolate in a double boiler placed over simmering water or in the microwave in 30 second intervals. Stir until smooth, do not overheat or chocolate will burn and seize up.
- Remove from heat and stir in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mixture will be thick and slightly grainy.
- Use a spoon or small scoop to portion mixture into desired size for truffles (mine were about 1 tablespoon each). Use your hands to roll into balls. Chill in the fridge while you melt chocolate for dipping.
- Melt the milk or dark chocolate (or both in separate bowls) in the microwave or over double boiler.
- Dip the truffle balls in the chocolate until completely covered. Use a fork to remove truffles from the melted chocolate, letting excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Transfer to parchment or wax paper with the help of a toothpick.
- Sprinkle with flaky salt and let chocolate set up at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Store truffles in a cool dry place for 1-2 weeks.
Notes
The sprinkle of flaky salt on top takes them from simply sweet to completely irresistible—salty, chocolatey, and smooth, all with minimal effort.
