Steps:
- Combine whipping cream and butter in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until butter is melted (4 to 5 minutes). Add crème de menthe baking chips. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until chips are melted and mixture is smooth (2 to 3 minutes). Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours or freeze 1 hour until firm.
- Dust hands with powdered sugar or cocoa. Working quickly, shape mixture into 1-inch balls. (Truffle mixture will be soft; repeat dusting hands to make shaping easier, if necessary.) Place balls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheet; refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, melt candy coating in deep 1-quart saucepan over low heat; stir until smooth (8 to 10 minutes). Stir in food color until well mixed. Remove from heat; cool 10 minutes.
- Remove truffles from refrigerator. Place 1 truffle in candy coating mixture. Use small spoon to coat truffle; immediately remove and place onto waxed paper. Repeat with remaining truffles. (Work quickly so truffles do not melt.) Refrigerate until coating is set (10 minutes).
- Drizzle each truffle with melted chocolate. Refrigerate until set (10 minutes). Place truffles in paper or foil candy cups. Store refrigerated in container with tight-fitting lid up to 2 weeks.
- *Substitute 60 crème de menthe candy thins.
