Mint Chocolate Truffles
Oh yes! You take the first bite and sweet medleys start playing in your head! Fair warning, there also might be some sound effects accompanying these truffles as you bite into them!
NO baking involved, three ingredients for the base truffle. Yes! My hubster says this recipe is goofball proof! That’s good to know, I told him. We have all had goofball moments! In saying this, it’s a fun recipe to try with the kids, as effort involved is minimal and the outcome is phenomenal.
These truffles are quick and perfect for a mint chocolatey treat. We used semi-sweet chocolate chips and mint chips. We dusted them with cocoa powder or powdered sugar. Either are delicious!

Leave out the mint and have 16 oz of pure chocolate for chocolate truffles. Stay tuned we will do something fun for Valentines Day with this same base recipe =)
There will be a little bit of stickiness while rolling these in your palm to shape. It’s okay if they are not perfectly round. Truffles should have character!
