Ree's truffle mixture of semisweet and bittersweet chocolate plus sweetened condensed milk and mint extract is so delicious you might be tempted to eat it with a spoon. A melted milk-chocolate coating gives the truffles a smooth finish. Decorate the tops with a sprinkling of coarse sugar that not only adds to their presentation but also gives crunch to every bite.
