Tips:
- Use high-quality semisweet chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- Be sure to use heavy cream and not milk for the ganache, as this will give it a richer, creamier texture.
- Chill the ganache for at least 1 hour before assembling the delights, so that it is firm enough to hold its shape.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the ganache by stirring it constantly over low heat until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency.
- Dip the delights in the ganache and then immediately sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies, while the ganache is still wet.
- Store the delights in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
These mint chocolate delights are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make and absolutely delicious. The combination of chocolate and mint is always a winner, and the ganache is rich and creamy. These delights are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
