Salted caramel and mocha come together in a cute little truffle that you can enjoy any time of the day. You might want to double the batch...these Salted Caramel Mocha Truffles will not last very long.
Can I just tell you how happy I am that the Salted Caramel Mocha is back at Starbucks?
I wait all year for them to bring them back, and I had my first one this fall the other night after my son's soccer game. And I fell in love with it all over again!! I now have salted caramel mocha everything on my brain. I seriously couldn't rest until I recreated another yummy salted caramel treat...I didn't think you would mind 🙂
The great thing about these cookie dough truffles is that you get a whole batch for the same price as one drink at Starbucks. Not that I don't think the drinks are worth it...I drink my share of them, believe me.
In fact, I'm seriously considering stopping on the way to the kid's soccer and volleyball games tonight for another one. I can never have enough salted caramel. Ever!
Of course all weekend long all I could think about was making something new and delicious that included my fav flavors.
Then it hit me...why not take these Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie Dough Truffles and change them slightly to include the mocha and salted caramel. Nothing against my favorite candy, but I think these Salted Caramel Mocha Truffles may have them beat by a mile. There is just something about sweet and salty that truly gets me every. single. time!
The best thing about these truffles (other than being cheaper than Starbucks) is that they are completely no bake. You beat everything together in a bowl and roll them into 3 dozen bite sized balls. I do recommend refrigerating them for about 30 minutes. It just makes it easier to dip them in the melted chocolate.
Use a toothpick to dip and tap. After the chocolate has set up all the way, heat the caramel and drizzle it over the tops. You do want to let the caramel cool just for a minute or two, or you will have white chocolate melting too. But seriously it doesn't affect the taste at all...I would know. I had a few of these bad boys each day this weekend.
Diet? Who cares when you have these amazing salty and sweet treats in front of you.

If you don’t cook them, wouldn’t it be ill advised to eat raw flour?
Jocelyn
If you are using flour in a no bake recipe, you can heat treat it first to make it safe to eat. Here is how to do that. https://insidebrucrewlife.com/how-to-heat-treat-flour/

Thank you, can you freeze them after they are made?!
Jocelyn
Yes, these can be frozen after dipping them in chocolate. I would not add the caramel and sea salt until AFTER you thaw them out though. The caramel will get watery after thawing!
Tom Lucas
How about Kahlua in place of coffee extract?
Thanks
Jocelyn
I think that sounds great. Just make sure they will not be eaten by children. I hope you enjoy the truffles.
Mindy
I made these and they are delicious! They require a little effort, but it's worth it. Everyone loved them.
Oh Happy Dane
WOAH! You got my attention there!! Had to go straight to your webpage... and got soooo inspired (and hungry!) now!!

I made these yesterday for a fundraiser, and they were a hit! Perfectly portioned to serve a large group. I couldn't find caramel bits so I used butterscotch chips. Caramel would have been better, but no one seemed any the wiser. People were telling me how good they were, and they didn't know I was the one who brought them. My cookie batter was a bit dry. It tasted great, but it was hard to roll because it would crumble, so they were a bit ugly. Any suggestions should I run into that next time I make them (because there will definitely be a next time!)? More butter, cream, etc? Thanks!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Woo hoo for awesome treats that disappear! Isn't it a fun feeling when people find out you made a delicious cookie? 🙂 Mine batter wasn't dry when I rolled them, but if you want to try adding another teaspoon of milk to help get a better rolling texture that would work. And kudos to you for using butterscotch chips in place of the caramel bits...that sounds delicious too!
