Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Prepare the Chocolate: Place the finely chopped semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl, ensuring it is dry.
  • Heat the Cream and Butter: In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir until just simmering (about 4-5 minutes).
  • Combine and Melt: Pour the hot cream and butter mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  • Add Flavors and Chips: Stir in peppermint extract, then fold in mini semisweet chocolate chips.
  • Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until firm.
  • Scoop and Shape the Truffles: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop portions of chocolate mixture and roll into balls.
  • Coat the Truffles: Roll each truffle in unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly coated.
  • Final Chill: Return the coated truffles to the lined baking sheet and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes.

Notes

Use quality chocolate for better flavor. Experiment with different toppings like crushed nuts.
