Time 2h35m

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.
