These Salted Caramel Coffee Truffles are so good! Coffee in caramel, surrounded by chocolate. These couldn’t be easier or tastier! No bake, and simple to make. Just mix and eat!

Please let me know if you have any questions about this recipe. I read all the comments myself and I try to help as soon as I can. I have readers from all levels of comfort and experience in the kitchen on my site, and I’ve tried to answer some of your questions already in the post. But if I’ve missed anything, please feel free to leave a comment and ask.
But, they are super rich, so resist the urge to make them large. They should be little bites, tiny in size, but mighty in yumminess. Also, if you’re a coffee lover, I’d recommend going with 4 teaspoons of coffee. I left a range here because some people aren’t huge fans of coffee (what is wrong with those people!?!) 😉
Today I have a little something special… A recipe for Salted Caramel Coffee Truffles.
Coffee:
A little while ago I was contacted by the Don Tomas Coffee Company. They wanted to give me some coffee to review and to giveaway! Well, you know how I LOVE coffee! So, of course, I was in! And, I love to share coffee! So I was doubly in!
They have a cool company story too… “We not only grow and roast coffee, we are also known for our thriving community in Nicaragua. Tomas family farm supports the community by providing schools for our children, health care for our families, and steady employment in an otherwise uncertain environment. Generations have worked and lived on our farm perfecting the science behind growing the highest quality, shade grown, 100% handpicked Arabica coffee.”
I loved the coffee too! I went with the Light Roast Ground; it’s smooth, well-balanced, and has a nice finish. It’s super yummy for a morning cup ‘o joe! And, another thing I like about their coffee is the fact that it isn’t expensive. Check them out on their website and on Amazon.com.
These candies were made with a scoop. And, honestly, each one of these truffles will serve two people. Dan and I split one and we were very happy!
The coconut oil is for a little bit of shine in the truffle and a little bit of softness. So, if you don’t have any coconut oil, no worries, you can leave it out or replace it with butter or vegetable shortening.
And, as for the Salted Caramel Sauce, I highly recommend you make your own. It’s amazing! I make this sauce for special events; it’s delish over ice cream. ‘Course, I like to eat it plain with a spoon too, that’s why I don’t make it too often! But, if you’d prefer to buy a jar from the store for ease, that’ll work too. Just get a good quality one.
These candies were made in the candy mold. It makes it really easy to get the right size. After filling the molds, just tap the mold tray on the counter a bunch of times to get the air bubbles out of the candies.

Salted Caramel Coffee Truffles Recipe
Salted Caramel Coffee Truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup good-quality dark chocolate
- 3-4 teaspoons finely ground coffee
- 3 tablespoons salted caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil melted
Instructions
- Place chocolate in a microwave-safe medium bowl. Melt chocolate in the microwave on medium-high for in 30-second increments, stirring between each. Once chocolate is melted, stir in ground coffee, caramel, and coconut oil.
- Carefully spoon into small candy molds. Tap mold on a solid surface like a counter top a few times to release the air bubbles from the truffles. Place in fridge until solid and firmed.
- If you don’t have a candy mold, these may be done with a scoop or a spoon. Scoop or spoon out a small amount and place the truffle onto a Silpat or a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- Drizzle a small amount of salted caramel sauce over each truffle for serving, if desired. You could even sprinkle some salt over the top for serving.

Wow…these look absolutely delicious! This would be great to link-up to my Create It Thursday party…it’s live now! http://www.lambertslately.com/2013/05/create-it-thursday-3-plus-features.html

These look wonderful… and I love Don Tomas coffee. Never thought of putting grounds in the truffles. Was thinking of how I would do it.. Found you on Create it Thursday. Oh and I don’t really drink coffee that much anymore.. once in a while some specialty coffee but love baking and cooking with it.

I have two cups of coffee per day

To be perfectly honest…I really don’t pay attention. I start my day with coffee and usually end it with coffee. I have drank it since I was in my teens as the coffee pot was always on at my parents house and I have continued the tradition. Nothing beats the smell of coffee being brewed early in the morning or on a cold winters day. 🙂
Medeja
Such tempting treats! Irresistible!

Hmmm…on average 1-3 cups!

I don’t drink coffee everyday 😮 but I LOOVE it

Delish! It wouldn’t be hard to veganise these either with the plethora of vegan caramel and coconut condensed milk recipes that are all over the net at the moment…share? NOPE!
Cee
I thought I only drank about one cup a day, but I recently measured my consumption, and it’s probably closer to two cups!
Debi
Yeah, Narf, I wanted to do both the regular and a vegan version for the post, but didn’t have time. So, maybe I’ll do a second post with a vegan version. Yeah, I thought of coconut milk too. Really easy sub. And, coconut oil for the butter. I think they would work really well. I use an organic corn syrup in my candy making, but I bet maple syrup would work just fine too. 🙂
narf77
I would use rice malt syrup or golden syrup, both of them are vegan 🙂

I’m a 2 cup a day drinker, any more than that & I’m bouncing off the walls. Love some salted caramel though!!!

I usually like to drink at least 3 cups a day, absolutely love my coffee, the stronger, the better.
Sarah Reid, CNP (@jo_jo_ba)
I’ve gotta say between 4-5 cups a day, on a good day. If work is being a PITA, easily 6 or 7
Jon Martin
I will drink anywhere from one cup to one pot of coffee in a day. Just depends on the day
Debbie Bour
I drink a pot of coffee throughout my day. Coffee and chocolate=delicious.
