The Perfect Holiday Treat: Blue Christmas Truffles
These Blue Christmas Truffles are a decadent indulgence made with velvety chocolate and infused with refreshing peppermint. Coated in a bright blue candy shell, they are delightful little bites that melt in your mouth, making them perfect for holiday gatherings or as a homemade gift.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Blue candy melts for coating
- Sprinkles or edible glitter for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. Stir in the peppermint extract.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the ganache with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until set and firm enough to scoop.
- Form the Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, scoop out small portions of the ganache and roll them into balls.
- Coat the Truffles: Melt the blue candy melts according to package instructions. Dip each truffle in the melted candy, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Decorate: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle with edible glitter or sprinkles if desired. Allow the truffles to set completely at room temperature or in the fridge.
- Serve: Once set, enjoy these delightful Blue Christmas Truffles at your holiday gatherings or package them as gifts!
