Truffles by Alisha.......

Hey Karla,

I was so excited to see so many new recipes on your website today. The truffle one reminded me of this really yummy mint truffle recipe. It is a lot like Laurie's.

Thanks for sharing Alisha.....it sounds yummy too!!

Chocolate Mint Truffles

2 cups Milk Chocolate Morsels 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels 1 tablespoon peppermint extract

Place milk chocolate and semi-sweet morsels in large mixer bowl. Heat cream to a gentle boil in small saucepan; pour over morsels. Let stand for 1 minute; stir until smooth. Stir in peppermint extract. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for 35 to 45 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir just until color lightens slightly. (Do not over mix or truffles will be grainy.) Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto baking sheet with wax paper; refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes. Shape into balls, freeze for 30 to 40 minutes. Dip truffles into milk chocolate if desired.Place on foil-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes or until set. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
