Instructions
-
Place bittersweet chocolate in a bowl.
-
Heat dulce de leche and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat, whisking until combined and just bubbling.
-
Pour hot cream over chopped chocolate, let sit for one minute, then whisk until smooth.
-
If lumps remain, process ganache in a food processor or blender until silky.
-
Transfer ganache to a bowl, cover with cling wrap, and refrigerate for about 1 hour until firm.
-
Line a baking sheet and place cocoa powder in a shallow bowl.
-
Scoop ganache into small balls, dust hands with cocoa, and roll until round. Repeat for all ganache. Let truffles sit overnight at room temperature (60-70F) for optimal skin, or refrigerate for 45 minutes to firm.
-
Melt chocolate candy coating in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring until smooth.
-
Dip each truffle in melted chocolate, letting excess drip, then place on the prepared baking sheet. While wet, sprinkle with chopped candied nuts. Repeat for all truffles.
