Creame de Menthe Truffles
The timeless combination of chocolate and mint, especially dark chocolate, is satisfying! Refreshing, cool and rich is how best to describe these Creame de Menthe Truffles!
Creame de Menthe Truffles
The Creame de Menthe Truffles are a luxurious treat to give as gifts for birthdays, Valentine’s Day or St. Patrick’s Day. They can easily be packaged up for gifts. Try using a 8 x 5” paper baking box or truffle box to hold the candy.
To make the Creame de Menthe Truffles, place the green mint baking chips in a medium heat proof bowl. Add the sweetened condensed milk and stir. Carefully heat the mixture in the microwave until smooth, for 30 second intervals. Cool the mixture to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight until the texture is like fudge.
Creame de Menthe and Mint Baking Chips
While the mixture is chilling, place the Creame de Menthe chocolate mint baking chips in a wide bowl. Line a paper baking gift box or rectangle airtight container with parchment paper and prepare 20-22 paper baking cups inside.
Mint Baking Chips Mixed With Sweetened Condensed Milk
Line up the mixture, baking chips and container in an assembly line. Using a melon scoop, shape the mixture into balls (if the mixture is too hard, let it stand at room temperature until you are able to roll it). Roll the truffles in Creame de Menthe chocolate mint baking chips, pressing the baking chips in gently to adhere.
Cover the truffles all around. Note, you may have some chocolate mint baking chips leftover. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Melted Goodness
The Creame de Menthe Truffles are gluten and nut free in most cases, too! Check the product labels for specific dietary guidelines.
