Thin Mint Truffles
Yield: 18 truffles
Thin Mint Truffles feature centers made of crushed Thin Mints cookies + cream cheese that are dunked into melted dark chocolate. These chocolate mint truffles are a fun reinvention of a classic Girl Scout cookie!
Ingredients
- 1 box 9 ounces Girl Scouts Thin Mints cookies
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened and cut into cubes
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
- 4 ounces chocolate almond bark chopped
Instructions
- Add Thin Mints to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until they are a fine crumb.
- Add softened cream cheese and pulse until the mixture forms a dough.
- Scoop out 1-tablespoon sized portions and roll them into smooth balls. Place the truffles on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes.
- While truffles are chilling, combine chocolate chips and chocolate bark in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, or until the chocolate is just melted. Take care to not let the chocolates scorch.
- Dip each chilled truffle (one at a time) into the chocolate and shake off any excess. Then place it back on the parchment lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining truffles. If decorating with sprinkles, make sure to add them before the chocolate has fully set. If decorating with a chocolate drizzle, allow the first layer of chocolate to fully harden before adding the drizzle.
- Place the truffles back into the fridge for 15 minutes to set.
