Yield 36 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces good-quality bittersweet chocolate
8 ounces good-quality semisweet chocolate
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
3 to 4 drops mint extract
8 ounces meltable milk chocolate
Decorator's sugar
Green food coloring

Steps:

  • Heat the dark chocolates and condensed milk in a double boiler over medium-low heat until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. The mixture will have a slight marshmallow texture. Stir in the mint extract to your taste.
  • Remove from the heat, and then cover and refrigerate until completely cool, at least 2 hours.
  • Once chilled, roll in teaspoon-size balls, and then dip into the melted milk chocolate coating, using a fork to let the excess chocolate drip off.
  • Color the decorators sugar with a small amount of green food coloring and sprinkle on top of the truffles.

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.
