Categories     Dessert

Time 3h55m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup whipping cream
1 bag (10 oz) creme de menthe baking chips
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)
10 oz vanilla-flavored candy coating (almond bark)
2 drops green food color
Mini foil candy cups (1 1/2 inch), if desired

Steps:

  • In 2-quart saucepan, heat whipping cream over low heat 2 to 3 minutes or until cream is warm. Remove from heat. Add baking chips and chocolate chips; stir until melted and smooth. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
  • Line cookie sheets with waxed paper. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls, dusting hands with powdered sugar or cocoa, if necessary; place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in deep 1-quart saucepan, melt candy coating over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove for heat; cool 10 minutes. In small resealable freezer plastic bag, place 1/4 cup melted coating and the green food color; seal bag. Squeeze bag to mix until uniform color; set aside.
  • Using fork, dip 1 truffle at a time into white candy coating to coat. Return to waxed paper-lined cookie sheets. Cut off tiny corner of bag containing green coating. Squeeze bag to drizzle coating over each truffle (if necessary, reheat green coating in microwave on High a few seconds to make coating drizzle). Let truffles stand until coating is set, about 10 minutes, before placing in foil candy cups. Store in refrigerator.

Overall, I thought these truffles were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These truffles are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred a less sweet filling.

The chocolate coating on these truffles is a bit too thick for my liking. I would have preferred a thinner coating so that I could taste more of the mint filling.

These truffles are a bit too minty for my taste. I would have preferred a more subtle mint flavor.

I was a bit hesitant to try these truffles because I'm not a huge fan of crème de menthe, but I was pleasantly surprised. They're actually really delicious! The mint flavor is subtle and the chocolate is rich and creamy.

I've made these truffles several times now and they always turn out perfect. They're the perfect balance of minty and chocolatey.
