I used to think truffles were complicated. I used to think they required candy thermometers and careful attention and Maldon sea salt and only the finest and most expensive ingredients available. I thought they simply weren’t for me.

I was wrong.



It all starts with date caramel. Have you tried the stuff? If not, YOU HAVEN’T LIVED.

Sticky medjool dates pitted and processed then spiked with sea salt for flavor balance. Raw salted vegan caramel. Yes, please.

Up next? Use a melon baller or a measuring spoon to scoop out truffle shapes (or roll them with your hands!). Then freeze before drizzling with creamy, salted peanut butter. Now we’re getting somewhere.

Last but not least? Dunk those babies in dairy-free dark chocolate and sprinkle with a touch more sea salt. A quick trip to the fridge or freezer and these gems are ready for fast and immediate consumption.

Watch yourself, they’re addictive.

You guys are going to FLIP over these truffles. They’re:

Crunchy on the outside

Creamy on the inside

Chocolate-y

Caramel-y

Peanut butter-y

Perfectly salty-sweet

Simple

Decadent

Intensely satisfying

& Highly addictive

After sampling my first two I promptly hauled these down to the office staff in our apartment building. Otherwise? These would’ve been gone in an hour. So tasty!

If you give these truffles a go, be sure to snap a pic and tag it #minimalistbaker on Instagram so I can see how yours came out! I love seeing which recipes you guys try and love. Cheers, friends!
