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.

Recipe
Salted Caramel Mocha Truffles
Mocha cookie dough truffles dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt are a great decadent treat.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon coffee extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 1 Tablespoon instant coffee
- ¼ cup dark cocoa powder
- 1 ¼ cups flour

- ¼ cup caramel baking bits
- 2 teaspoons water
- sea salt
Instructions
- Beat the butter and sugars until creamy. Add the extract and salt and beat again.
- Stir the instant coffee into the milk until dissolved. Pour the milk into the butter mixture alternately with the cocoa powder and flour. Beat until everything is combined.
- Roll the cookie dough into 36 balls. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until hard.
- Melt the white chocolate according to the package directions. Use a toothpick and dip the truffles in the chocolate. Tap off the excess chocolate and set on wax paper to set.

Hi im new in baking and this kind of stuff
I was wonder for the flour it does not need to be baked just in the fridge?
Sorry for my stupidy.
Thank You
Lowwen
Jocelyn Brubaker
No these are a no bake treat. You can eat the dough just like it is without baking it.
Lee
I have a question. You use flour in the recipe? Is it still raw? Does it affect the whole flavor of the truffles?
Jocelyn Brubaker
Yes, these truffles have raw flour in them. If you have ever eaten raw cookie dough, these taste just like that without the raw egg factor. They are wonderful!!!
Donna
I can't find caramel baking bit, dunno if I can get them here 🙁 so, could anyone suggest a recipe that would work well so something else that I could use, keeping in mind that I live in Ireland!

We love everything salted caramel and are so happy to have found your blog. You offer so many salted caramel recipe options, and everyone of them looks delicious. Rather than getting our salted caramel fix at Starbucks (love their salted caramel cake pops), we will try to make our own. T

I love those drinks too!
I've gotta make these next week when my husband is in Washington training for his new job. I have a feeling that laying in bed at night, popping these into my mouth will make his absence a little bit easier to deal with.
You've tried the salted caramel hot apple cider right or is it the salted hot chocolate...or maybe they make one of each. Either way...I think you need to continue your trend of making treats using Starbucks as your muse 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
I think these truffles might help with that, at least just a bit! 😉 Mmmm yes, those flavor combos sounds like wonderful treats!!!
Krista @ joyfulhealthyeats
I am ashamed to say that I haven't tried that drink yet, I have all the best intentions on doing it this time. But after seeing these truffles I am sold and eating these first. I am literally salivating at the pictures! HOLY YUM! Pinning

Haha!! Well you definitely need to try either the drink or these truffles!! Thank you Krista!!

Marcie
These look amazing! Believe it or not, I've never had a salted caramel mocha at sbux -- I drink plain old double tall nonfat lattes with cinnamon. (Yawn). I would completely gobble up these babies by the dozen, however, as I adore cookie dough truffles and that combination sounds perfect!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Haha!! You crack me up! 😉 Thanks Marcie!!
