FOR THE GANACHE:
- 255g cream
 - 380g dark chocolate
 - 120g gianduja milk chocolate
 - 60g salted butter
 - 200ml pure maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich taste)
 - 150g praline paste
 - Pinch of sea salt
 
OTHER INGREDIENTS NEEDED:
- 400g chocolate, to temper
 - Maple flakes, to decorate
 
Method
- Chop the butter into small pieces and allow it to soften at room temperature.
 - Chop up the dark chocolate and gianduja milk chocolate, then place into a metal bowl.
 - Boil your cream in a saucepan. Once boiled, pour this over the chocolate and mix until it starts to come together.
 - Boil your maple syrup, and then pour into the cream and chocolate mixture. Mix continuously until it forms a silky emulsion.
 - Add the praline paste and sea salt and mix well.
 - Add the softened butter and mix until fully combined.
 - Leave to cool for approximately one hour. While setting, prepare a tray lined with non-stick paper.
 - Once your ganache starts to firm, add it to a piping bag. Pipe bulbs onto the lined tray to make your truffles. This recipe makes approximately 50 truffles. Allow to set fully, for approximately 30 minutes.
 - Prepare a second tray lined with non-stick paper.
 - Temper the separate dark chocolate, then dip each truffle into the chocolate, place on the clean tray and immediately sprinkle with maple flakes. Allow to set for 10-15 minutes and enjoy!
