Ingredients

Main Ingredients

▢ 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped
▢ 0.75 cup heavy cream
▢ 1 tbsp butter unsalted
▢ 1 tsp peppermint extract
▢ 0.5 cup cocoa powder for rolling
▢ 0.5 cup crushed candy canes for decoration

Instructions

Preparation Steps

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chopped semi-sweet chocolate with heavy cream and butter, stirring constantly, until smooth and creamy.
Remove from heat and stir in the peppermint extract. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the mixture and roll between your hands to form balls.
Roll the truffles in cocoa powder or crushed candy canes to coat.
Refrigerate truffles until ready to serve.

Notes

Store the truffles in the refrigerator for up to one week. For a more intense peppermint flavor, add a dash more extract.
