Ingredients

  • 4 ounce cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 drop green food coloring gel
  • ½ cup semi-sweet mini chocolate morsels
  • 12 ounce chocolate coating melted (feel free to use the dark or the white chocolate, or both)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add sugar, peppermint extract and food coloring. Beat until well combined.
  2. Fold in chocolate morsels.
  3. Using a 1 tbsp scoop, drop onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Freeze for about an hour (more is fine).
  4. 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.

Notes

  • Make sure your cream cheese and butter are softened, so they whip up nice and fluffy to create a creamy filling.
  • Use a metal cookie scoop (like this 1 Tbsp sized scoop) to portion out your balls onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Use a toothpick to dip the balls into the melted chocolate and then tap off any excess to create a smooth coating.
  • Add drizzled chocolate or mini chocolate chips to cover the toothpick hole.
  • Feel free to use dark, milk or white chocolate melting wafers or bark for your coating. Or use more than one!
