I fully intended to make these for Valentine's day. I also fully intended to try, for the first time ever, to make my own caramel for this recipe. I swear, I only bought the jar of Trader Joe's fleur de sel caramel sauce as a plan b, a backup of sorts in case things went horribly wrong. Which, with my cooked sugar track record, I fully expected them to. Despite all my good intentions, it just didn't happen. The Valentine's part or the made-from-scratch caramel part. Yes, I fully admit it. I cheated. I did not make my own caramel. I didn't even attempt to. That jar of pre-made caramel sauce kept taunting me; daring me to even try and make something as good; I just couldn't take it any more. I had to use it. I just had to. But I hope my caramelized infidelity doesn't make you think any less of me... or these truffles. Because that would be a travesty, as these truffles are mind blowingly delicious. Jaw droppingly decadent. Holy heavenly rich. The dark chocolate, ganache-like filling
