Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs – Provides a base for the truffle mixture, giving it a slight crunch and holding the ingredients together.
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut, toasted – Adds a nutty, crispy texture with a tropical flair. Toasting the coconut enhances its flavor and crunch.
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce – Acts as the binder, adding sweetness and moisture to the truffles.
- 1/4 cup condensed milk – Adds creaminess and sweetness to the mix, ensuring that the truffles hold their shape.
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract – For that subtle hint of vanilla that complements the caramel and chocolate flavors perfectly.
- 1/2 cup melted chocolate – Used to coat the truffles, giving them a rich, chocolatey exterior.
- Additional caramel sauce for drizzling – Drizzle this on top of the truffles for a beautiful finish and extra caramel goodness.
- Extra toasted coconut for garnish – Sprinkling this on top adds a lovely texture and completes the Samoa flavor profile.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, toasted coconut, caramel sauce, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. The texture should be sticky and slightly thick, but easy to roll into balls.
Tip: Make sure the coconut is evenly toasted. Spread it on a baking sheet and toast it in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 2: Form the Truffles
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray as you go. Once you’ve rolled all the mixture, place the tray in the fridge to let the truffles firm up for about 10 minutes.
Step 3: Coat in Chocolate
While the truffles are chilling, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating it in 20-second intervals and stirring in between to avoid burning. Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, take the truffles out of the fridge and dip each one into the chocolate, ensuring they’re fully coated. Place the chocolate-covered truffles back onto the parchment-lined tray.
Step 4: Add the Finishing Touches
After all the truffles are coated, drizzle caramel sauce over the top of each one. Sprinkle a little bit of extra toasted coconut on top to add texture and visual appeal.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Place the tray in the fridge for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Once the truffles are firm, they’re ready to serve and enjoy!

- Use high-quality ingredients: For the best results, use high-quality caramel sauce and chocolate. These ingredients will elevate the flavor and texture of your truffles.
- Make sure the coconut is well toasted: Toasting the coconut enhances its natural flavor, adding a rich, nutty component that complements the sweet caramel and chocolate.
- Work quickly when coating in chocolate: Once you dip the truffles in chocolate, work quickly to add the caramel drizzle and toasted coconut garnish before the chocolate sets.
- Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet truffle, reduce the amount of caramel sauce or use dark chocolate for the coating.
