Mint Chocolate Chip is a favorite flavor combination of mine and these little mint chocolate chip truffles are way too addicting. A creamy mint filling dipped in good quality dark chocolate makes a perfect indulgence.

Mint Chocolate Chip Truffles are a perfect treat for the holidays and Christmas. With a few simple ingredients like cream cheese, butter and sugar, you can have an easy christmas candy recipe for all your holiday cookie exchanges and party trays.

My son, Cameron, just had to have his blood drawn twice in the past week. Since he is only two, I was nervous how it would go and a bit sad to take him. Thankfully, my sister was able to come with me when he had it done the first time. We were both bracing ourselves for a lot of crying. But, when we got there, he proudly climbed up on the chair, held out his arm and didn’t flinch or cry when they poked him.

Talk about a proud mom moment. I thought it might be just a fluke, and was worried the second time we went that he would know what was going to happen and cry and not hold still. He was still a champ the second time, although he did get a little squirmy at how long it took. I think I’ve told everyone I know that story and I’m still so proud of him that I feel the need to share the story with the entire internet.

I’m not sure why he was so brave, but I’m proud of him. Now to work on teaching him not to cry when his sister barely bumps him.

I’m a mint chocolate lover and I’m so happy that the mint chocolate recipes on my blog are some of my most popular on my site. These mint brownies, no churn mint chocolate chip ice cream and Andes Mint Cookies are all fan favorites. So knowing that you all love mint chocolate as much as I do, I wanted to give you all a bite sized mint chocolate chip recipe you can keep in your freezer and pull out whenever you have a craving.

I’m a fan of mint chocolate chip all year, no special occasion needed, but these easy chocolate mint chip truffles would be especially good around Christmas.

    I love chocolate and mint together and can’t wait to try these, but I have a couple of questions. Did you use green food coloring in the filling? And for the mint extract or flavoring, would peppermint extract give the same result?

      yes, I used green food coloring. you can leave it out if you want. And there are some variations in mint in peppermint extract. but if you like the flavor of peppermint, it will be fine.
