Ancient Ocean® Himalayan Pink Salt-Topped Chocolate Truffles

Your favorite chocolate confections get a flavor boost from a whole host of SaltWorks® flavored and gourmet sea salts. This silky, velvety, decadent dark chocolate treat is the perfect backdrop to pure, pristine Ancient Ocean® Himalayan Pink Salt. The pink salt adds precious color to the deep and dark palette, almost melting into the chocolate. We also love the beautiful Artisan® Cyprus Flake as well as Fusion® Vintage Merlot as a divine addition to these bite-size chocolate fixes. A simple and delicious way to dress an already elegant dessert.
