Method

Bring the water to the boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate and whisk to form a smooth ganache. Stir in the salted caramel flavour. Leave to cool for 30 mins, then cover and transfer to the fridge to chill for 2 hrs or until firm but not hard (check every 20 mins after the first 1 hr, as fridge temperatures differ).
Generously dust a tray and your hands with cocoa powder. Using 2 teaspoons, spoon small balls (about 1 tsp in size) of the ganache mixture and roll into smooth balls in your hands. Roll each truffle on the tray to coat in cocoa powder. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Tip: For a flavour twist, instead of the spring water try adding almond or coocnut milk, coffee or freshly squeezed orange juice.
