Preparation
Step 1
Make the middles first. Heat the Dulce de Leche in a pan for 1 min until warmed and runny, then stir in the chopped dark chocolate and leave to melt. Stir until smooth. Cover a dinner plate with cling film, oil the cling film well, then tip the mix onto it. Cool, then freeze for 2 hrs or until very firm.
Step 2
Put the milk chocolate into a bowl. Bring the cream to the boil in another pan, then pour it over the chocolate. Leave for 2 mins, then add the vanilla and stir until smooth. Cool, then chill until set.
Step 3
Peel the caramel from the cling film, then snip into thumbnail-size pieces; wet kitchen scissors work best.
Step 4
Spread cocoa powder over a large baking tray.
Step 5
Take a heaped tsp of the truffle mix then, with cocoa-dusted hands, poke in a caramel chunk.
Step 6
Squash the mix around the caramel to seal, then roll into a ball.
Step 7
Put onto the tray, then shake to coat in the cocoa.
chill if making less than 3 days ahead.
