Time 1h35m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
1 (18.4 ounce) package brownie mix
⅔ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup water
2 large eggs
1 (4.6 ounce) package creme de menthe thins (such as Andes®)
1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
green and while candy sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a glass 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine brownie mix, oil, water, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir 50 strokes with a spoon. Spread into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 28 to 31 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Break up warm brownies into a large bowl. Roughly chop mint thins and add to the bowl; stir until well combined, allowing the brownies' heat to slightly melt the chocolate.
  • Form mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls, pressing firmly so they hold together. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Combine chocolate chips and oil in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth.
  • Dip each brownie ball into the melted chocolate and turn with a fork to coat. Lift and allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place dipped truffles onto a tray lined with waxed or parchment paper. Top with sprinkles, if desired.
  • Refrigerate for 5 minutes (or let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes) until chocolate has set.

5-INGREDIENT PEPPERMINT CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES



5-Ingredient Peppermint Chocolate Truffles image

These rich and creamy Peppermint Chocolate Truffles are made with just 5 simple ingredients! Perfect for homemade holiday gifts!

Provided by Ashley Manila

Categories     Dessert

Time 4h40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup (227g/8 ounces) heavy whipping cream
2 and 2/3 cups (454g/16 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
5 and 1/2 Tablespoons (78g/2.75 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into small cubes and at room temperature
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 and 1/3 cups (226g/8 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
6 full-size candy canes, finely crushed

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over low heat, heat the cream just until it comes to a boil. Then immediately remove cream from heat and add in chopped chocolate. Allow the mixture to sit, untouched, for two minutes, then whisk smooth. Stir in the butter and peppermint extract and vigorously whisk until smooth and shiny.
  • Pour the mixture into a medium bowl and cool to room temperature before tightly covering the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerating for 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
  • Fill a medium pot one-third full with water and bring it to a low simmer over medium heat. Place a heatproof bowl that will fit on top of the pan snugly, but will not touch the simmering water, on top of the pan. Reduce the heat to low and add two-thirds of the chopped chocolate into the bowl over the pot. Heat until the chocolate is completely melted, stirring occasionally with a silicone spatula. Once the chocolate is completely melted, remove the pan from the heat - keeping the bowl on top of the pan - and stir in the reserved chocolate.
  • Right before dipping, pour the melted chocolate into a liquid measuring cup.
  • Before you begin, make sure you have enough room in your refrigerator for both baking sheets; the truffles must chill before being dipped in the chocolate coating.
  • Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
  • Measure 2 teaspoons of the truffle filling and quickly roll it between your hands to form a ball. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, and repeat with all truffles. Refrigerate the rolled truffles for at least 15 minutes before dipping in the chocolate.
  • Remove the chilled truffles from the refrigerator and begin dipping them into the chocolate using a small spoon or fork. Transfer the dipped truffles back onto the baking sheets and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
  • Allow truffles to sit at room temperature until set, about 1 hour.

These are so good. Just the right touch of mint. There's a 2 hour refrigeration period for the chocolate mixture to become firm enough to shape. Other than that, they're quick to make.
