Stir the mixture well, then place the bowl back in the microwave and heat for 3 more minutes. Stir the mixture every 30 seconds.

After 3 minutes, stir in the white chocolate.

Stir until it has melted.

Continue stirring the mixture is smooth. Stir in the salt. Refrigerate the caramel for 3 to 4 hours, or until it becomes firm. Once set, remove the caramel from the fridge and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave, stirring periodically until smooth.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon, spoon out some of the caramel and roll it between your palms to form a ball.

Coat the ball of caramel in the melted chocolate, then remove the chocolate-coated caramel with a fork or toothpick and place it on the baking sheet. Repeat.

To garnish, top the truffles with crushed nuts.

Let them chill, then serve.
