Time 1h35m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
1 (18.4 ounce) package brownie mix
⅔ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup water
2 large eggs
1 (4.6 ounce) package creme de menthe thins (such as Andes®)
1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
green and while candy sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a glass 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine brownie mix, oil, water, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir 50 strokes with a spoon. Spread into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 28 to 31 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Break up warm brownies into a large bowl. Roughly chop mint thins and add to the bowl; stir until well combined, allowing the brownies' heat to slightly melt the chocolate.
  • Form mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls, pressing firmly so they hold together. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Combine chocolate chips and oil in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth.
  • Dip each brownie ball into the melted chocolate and turn with a fork to coat. Lift and allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place dipped truffles onto a tray lined with waxed or parchment paper. Top with sprinkles, if desired.
  • Refrigerate for 5 minutes (or let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes) until chocolate has set.

These are so good. Just the right touch of mint. There's a 2 hour refrigeration period for the chocolate mixture to become firm enough to shape. Other than that, they're quick to make.

DUTCH CHOCOLATE-MINT TRUFFLES



Dutch Chocolate-Mint Truffles image

Categories     Candy     Chocolate     Dessert     Christmas     Mint     Winter     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes about 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup whipping cream
1 cup (lightly packed) fresh mint leaves (about 1 ounce)
12 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup Vandermint liqueur or crème de cacao
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, grated
30 (about) paper candy cups

Steps:

  • Bring cream and mint leaves to boil in medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Cover; let steep 1 hour. Strain into large bowl, pressing on leaves to release cream. Return cream to saucepan. Simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Add 12 ounces chopped chocolate and butter to cream. Whisk over low heat until melted and smooth. Stir in liqueur and vanilla. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Scoop up 1 tablespoon chocolate mixture. Roll between palms to form ball, then roll ball in grated chocolate. Place in candy cup. Repeat with remaining chocolate mixture and grated chocolate. Arrange truffles in airtight containers; chill. (Can be made ahead. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 1 month.) Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good rule of thumb is to use chocolate that has a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Make sure the cream is cold before you whip it. This will help it to whip up faster and hold its shape better.
  • Don't over-whip the cream. If you whip it too much, it will become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
  • Use a small spoon or piping bag to drizzle the melted chocolate over the truffles. This will help you to create a thin, even coating.
  • Chill the truffles for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them to firm up and set.

Conclusion:

These Dutch chocolate mint truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover chocolate. With their rich chocolate flavor and refreshing mint filling, these truffles are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
