Mint chocolate truffles

20 pieces | Preparation time 20 minutes + setting time 2 hours

1. Grind the chocolate and place it in a bowl. Heat the cream to boiling point.

2. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let set for a few minutes to melt the chocolate. Dice the butter and add it to the chocolate and cream mixture. Stir the mixture with a spatula until it is smooth and shiny. Add the crushed candies into the mixture and stir.

3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the paste set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight until it is firm enough to roll around.

4. Shape small balls from the truffle paste with a spoon and your hands. Finally, toss the truffles in crushed candies. If the paste is too sticky to roll, wear disposable gloves or put your hands in cold water and dry them.

Tip: Ready-made truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks and in the freezer for 3 months.
