A whisky and salted caramel infused chocolate truffle, perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Alas, winter is coming to an end. The snow falls slowly, then fades away. The days grow longer and the temperature rises. While spring is associated with an awakening- with a sense of freshness and resolve, I can’t help but feel a twinge of melancholy. This will be my last winter as a K-12 student at school. I remember dragging a plastic sled through the snow, up a hill and attempting to slide down, only to topple over, giggling, my puffed snowsuit breaking the fall. I remember watching the snow fall as I walked home after school, its patterned white color contrasting sharply against the blackening sky. My home. The memories.
But the good thing about spring is the number of festivities it carries along, one being Valentine’s Day. I am a hardcore chocolate lover, as you probably already know simply by examining the URL of my blog. And Valentine’s Day is incomplete without bittersweet bliss. So today, I bring you a recipe for salted caramel whisky truffles.
Yes, I am over 18 and can legally consume alcohol in Europe (I celebrated my 18th birthday not too long ago), not that this recipe is heavy on the whisky anyway. A couple of tablespoons here and there only accentuate the chocolate and salted caramel pairing, which, might I add, is possibly the best chocolate combination to exist. I always go heavy on the salt, adding in far more than the 1 tsp called in the recipe. But it’s totally up to you how much of it you’d like to add – make sure to taste the mixture as you go along.
Truffles make a great present, I actually wrapped these nicely in a colorful box and gifted it to a friend for her 18th birthday. Needless to say, they are perfect for Valentine’s Day. Enjoy this recipe for salted caramel whisky chocolate truffles – what a mouthful!
