Ingredients
Maple Ganache:
2 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped
2 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons Grade B maple syrup
Liquid Truffle:

Smoked salt, such as Mountain Rose Herb's Applewood Smoked Salt
Directions
- Make the maple ganache: Place the chocolates in a medium heat-safe bowl. Bring the cream, butter and maple syrup to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour the boiling cream-maple mixture over the chopped chocolate and set aside for 2 minutes. Then use a whisk or immersion blender to blend the chocolate mixture until smooth.
