These truffles have a caramel chocolate ganache in the centre.  Yum!

Ingredient List:
1 cup cream
3 Tbsps. Caramilk Liqueur
250 grams dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup butter
200 grams dark chocolate, melted for dipping

Start by chopping 250 g of dark chocolate and it set aside.

To make the caramel, bring 1 cup of cream to a boil and remove from the heat. Add 3 Tablespoons of Caramilk Liqueur

In a large pot, combine 1/4 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar.  Cook over medium heat, without stirring, for about 6 minutes.  The water will have taken on a toffee-brown colour.  Remove from the heat and stir in 1/4 cup of butter (cut into small pieces) and the hot cream.  The mixture will bubble and hiss at this point, which is why you want a large pot.

Stir until combined, smooth and shiny. At this point, you have a lovely caramel that could be used for any number of purposes.
