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.

Wendy
Would it be sacrilegious to say I will be making these with out the salt? I just can't get into sweet and salty, but the rest of the flavors in these truffles are irresistible! Caramel, chocolate, and coffee sound delicious! I always come to you, Jocelyn, for my baked caffeine fix. 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
Noooo!! Lol! Just kidding! They will be just as tasty without the salt. I just like that bit of salty with my caramel 😉 And thank you Wendy!! I love hearing that!! 🙂
Stephanie @ PlainChicken

Thank you Stephanie!! 😉
LuAnn Braley
Dang! I was so hoping I had all the ingredients on hand, cause I would have printed out the recipe and gone STRAIGHT to my kitchen! But I saved the recipe and next trip to the store, watch out! I'm going to put the 'missing' ingredients in a separate bag, go straight to the kitchen when I get back and make the family put the rest of the stuff away! :O)
Jocelyn Brubaker
Haha!!! I hope you did this!! They are just soooo worth it!! 😉
Sarah @ Miss CandiQuik
Oh wow! You've outdone yourself, Jocelyn! I'm drooling over that caramel.... I absolutely love that these are no bake. Because as much as I hate to say it, sometimes it's kinda nice to just whip up a treat without spending hours making them (cough - cake balls - cough, cough)
Jocelyn Brubaker
Haha, thank you Sarah!! No bake really makes these truffles that much more appealing! 😉
Anne ~ Uni Homemaker
I'll have to make a stop over at Starbucks for the Salted Caramel Mocha soon! In the mean time, I'll just drool over these sinfully delicious truffles. Pining! 😉

Thank you Anne!! You're the best!! 😉

You blog is so dangerous!!
I love the salted carmel mocha too... I use to tell my non-coffee-drinker coworker I was stepping out to get one and she'd always say "You're getting a what?"
SALTEDCARMELMOCHA! Say that three times fast 🙂

Nancy P.@thebittersideofsweet
I have never tried the salted caramel mocha from Starbucks. But don't you know I will be very soon! And these truffles. I think I will stick to just one batch so I won't be tempted to eat them ALL!
Jocelyn Brubaker
You will definitely have to try them!!! And good idea on one batch, it's probably what I should do! 😉
Lisa@Cluttercafe
Hello my pretties! I nned one of those now! I may have to stop at Starbucks on the way home. You have my permission to keep the salted caramel recipes coming. I make salted caramels as Christmas gifts and not many actually make it out of the house.
Jocelyn Brubaker
Haha!! I would be in trouble if I made them for Christmas gifts! It would go like...one for a gift, three for me!!! 😉
