Chocolate Mint Cheesecake Truffles

Sarah Remmer, RD
I'm not going to talk about nutrition, because--well--these aren't really nutritious. And that's ok -- it's the holidays! They're delicious and will make you and your family/friends/guests melt into their seats with delight. And that's all that matters in my mind.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 packages of after-eight mints or a package of mint chocolate cookies
  • 2 cups semi-sweet baking chocolate
  • 1/4 cup crushed candy cane for topping

Instructions
 

  • Melt dark chocolate in a double-boiler over medium heat until smooth (stirring often)
  • Meanwhile, blend the mints and cream cheese in a food processor or good quality blender, until smooth
  • Transfer mixture to a glass bowl, cover and freeze for about an hour minutes (you want this one really frozen before scooping because it can get kind of goopy)
  • Scoop about 1 tbsp of mixture into your hands, roll and dip into melted chocolate until covered.
  • Place on a lined baking sheet, top with candy cane sprinkles and freeze for at least 20 minutes before serving.
