Caramel Truffles

"Caramel Truffles improve on traditional truffles by using a base of homemade caramel to give the candies warmth and depth of flavor. The toasty, rich sugar taste is not overwhelming, but is does add a nice background note to these truffles. These candies, like most truffles, have several extensive chilling periods, so make sure you leave enough time when making them. Caramel truffles are especially lovely when topped with Candied Cacao Nibs. These are optional, but they add a great crunch and element of dark sweetness...."
