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’m trying to make these and my filling has chilled for 3 hours and it’s way too sticky and I can’t even roll it into a ball. What should I do?

    1. Mary says:

      I’d mix in a bit more powdered sugar until you are able to roll it into balls, Tiffany.

  2. Liz says:

    Can I use peppermint extract and food coloring to get a similar look and taste you think?

    1. Mary says:

      These truffles are made with peppermint extract and a bit of food coloring for the green coloring, Liz. Enjoy!

    I love chocolate & mint and these look devine and yet easy to make. Now my
    second love is chocolate & orange. So after make some mint truffles, I will
    switch the mint for orange extract and orange zest. OMG…I might have to hog them
    all to myself!!!
