Mint Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, Softened
  • 2 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract
  • 1 drop Green Food Coloring Gel
  • 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
  • 12 ounces Ghirardelli Melting Chocolate, Melted (feel free to use the dark or the white chocolate, or both)

Preparation

Step 1

Beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add sugar, peppermint extract and food coloring. Beat until well combined.
Fold in chocolate morsels.
Using a 1 tablespoon scoop, drop onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Freeze for about an hour (more is fine).
Using a toothpick, pick up the truffle and dip it into the melted chocolate, tapping the side of the bowl to remove the excess chocolate. If desired, add a couple of mini morsels for garnish.
Store in refrigerator for up to a week.
