1 Video | Photo: Mint Chocolate Truffles Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 ounces good-quality bittersweet chocolate
- 8 ounces good-quality semisweet chocolate
- One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- Mint extract (3 to 4 drops)
- 8 ounces meltable milk chocolate
- Decorator's sugar
- Green food coloring
Directions
Heat the dark chocolates and condensed milk in a double boiler over medium-low heat until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. The mixture will have a slight marshmallow texture. Stir in the mint extract to your taste.
Remove from the heat, and then cover and refrigerate until completely cool, at least 2 hours.
Once chilled, roll in teaspoon-size balls, and then dip into the melted milk chocolate coating, using a fork to let the excess chocolate drip off.
Color the decorators sugar with a small amount of green food coloring and sprinkle on top of the truffles.

These are far too sweet, I'm afraid. They are more like some kind of fudge, which I think is due to the inclusion of the sweetened condensed milk which is super-sweet. I guess they are a good treat to make for children rather than a dark and intense chocolate truffle which is what I like.

these are absolutely the easiest truffles to make. I sold them in 10mn. at the farmers mkt. I have made many of Ree's recipes and they are all good, thanks Ree.

I was very disappointed.
The filling was fine but lacked in flavor.
The covering was cumbersome to work with. The truffles started to melt when put in the melted chocolate.
I give pause to try another Pioneer Woman recipe.
