KitKat Truffles Recipe

Introduction

These KitKat Truffles are a deliciously indulgent treat that combine crunchy chocolate wafer bars with a smooth, creamy coating. Perfect for special occasions or a sweet snack, they’re surprisingly easy to make at home.

Ingredients

• 340 g KitKats
• 153 g Sweetened Condensed Milk (1/2 cup)
• 315 g Milk or Dark Chocolate (1 and 3/4 cups)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Crush all the KitKats into small pieces and place them in a large bowl.
2. Step 2: Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crushed KitKats and mix well until you get a gooey, sticky mixture.
3. Step 3: Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a non-stick baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
4. Step 4: Melt the milk or dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently.
5. Step 5: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated, then place them on parchment paper.
6. Step 6: Refrigerate the coated truffles until the chocolate is set, about 20–30 minutes.

Tips & Variations

• For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content instead of milk chocolate.
• Add a pinch of sea salt on top of each truffle before the chocolate sets for a delicious sweet-salty contrast.
• Use crushed peppermint candy or nuts to roll the truffles in before chilling for extra texture and flavor.

Storage

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly. Avoid freezing after coating to preserve the chocolate texture.

FAQs

Can I use a different chocolate instead of KitKat bars?

Yes, you can substitute other chocolate wafer bars, but KitKats give a unique crunch and flavor that work best in this recipe.

Is it necessary to freeze the truffles before dipping in chocolate?

Freezing the truffles helps them firm up so the chocolate coating sets more smoothly and prevents the truffles from falling apart during dipping.
