Truffles are an easy way to make some homemade candy. This Caramel Truffles recipe is so easy your kids could even make it. I wanted something new and different for the LuLaRoe Pop-Up Boutique I hosted recently. With it being October I wanted to focus on some fall flavors. I made my Crockpot Apple Cobbler along with the truffles and of course, there was a bowl of candy corn too. Guests at this type of party don’t eat much so the very limited menu was perfect.

This easy Caramel Truffles recipe is a great way to get the family involved in candy making.

I did have about a dozen caramel truffles left over after the party. Our friends across the street were hosting a teen party that night and I saw one of the teens from church hanging out in the yard. I brought him the rest of the truffles (so I wouldn’t eat them all). He shared them with the other kids and on Sunday he told me they were a huge hit.
