Time 3h50m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 3

11 ounces chocolate, chopped
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 ½ cups chopped peppermint crunch thin mints (such as Andes®)

Steps:

  • Heat chocolate and cream in the top of a double boiler over simmering water without stirring for 3 minutes. Whisk chocolate and cream together until smooth. Remove from heat and let mixture cool until thick, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Pour chocolate mixture into a flat baking dish, cover with plastic wrap, and chill until fully set, about 3 hours.
  • Place chopped peppermint candies into a shallow bowl. Use a melon baller to scoop about 1 1/2 teaspoon of chocolate mixture; form into a ball-shaped truffle and set aside on a piece of parchment paper on a work surface. Roll truffles in peppermint candy and lightly roll truffles between your hands to press candy pieces into truffles.

I'm not a big fan of mint, but I really liked these truffles. The chocolate is rich and creamy, and the peppermint flavor is subtle and refreshing.

These truffles are a great way to use up leftover candy canes. I always have a bunch of candy canes left over after Christmas, and this is a great way to use them up.

I used dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate, and they turned out great. I also added a little bit of peppermint extract to the ganache, which really kicked up the flavor.

These truffles were a real treat! The combination of chocolate and peppermint was perfect, and the crunch from the candy canes added a nice touch. I will definitely be making these again.
