I was trying to find a festive candy to give to my friends and neighbors... Thought these were perfect for the Holidays!

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounce(s) bittersweet chocolate
1/4 cup(s) sugar
1 cup(s) heavy cream
1/4 cup(s) whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon(s) pepermint extract
12 - candy canes, crushed

Steps:

  • Pour both types of cream, sugar and extract into a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil on low heat.
  • Chop up the bittersweet chocolate and put into a bowl.
  • Pour boiling cream mixture over the chocolate and stir until smooth.
  • Place bowl in the fridge for 2 3/4 - 3 hours to firm up.
  • Using a teaspoon, scoop out firm chocolate and roll into walnut size truffle. (it gets a little messy, but completely worth it!)
  • Drop truffle into a bowl or container of crushed candy canes and completely cover. I usually shake the container to completely cover instead of rolling it with my fingers to avoid getting candy cane all over your fingers.
  • Put completed truffles into an airtight container and place in the fridge or freezer to firm up.
