Peppermint Fudge Truffles Recipe
Prep time: 25 minutes
Total time: 2 hours for cooling and 10 minutes for chocolate dipping
Makes: 20+
Ingredients
2 cups high-quality milk chocolate chips
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup crushed peppermint candy canes
2-3 cups powdered sugar
1 cup high-quality semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Additional crushed peppermint candy canes for garnish
Supplies
Heavy Sauce Pan
Measuring Cups
Mixing Bowl
Rimmed Baking Sheet
Parchment Paper
Dipping Fork
Instructions
- Create the Fudge Base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the milk chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and stir in the crushed peppermint candies.
- Chill and Form Truffles: Pour the fudge mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for about 20 minutes, or until firm enough to handle. Once chilled, gradually incorporate powdered sugar until the mixture reaches a pliable consistency. Roll the fudge into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Melt the Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip and Decorate: Dip each fudge ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, garnish with crushed peppermint candy canes.
- Set and Enjoy: Refrigerate the truffles for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating has hardened. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Bonus Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate.
- If the fudge mixture is too sticky, add a bit more powdered sugar.
- For a more intense peppermint flavor, increase the amount of crushed peppermint candies.
- Get creative with your garnishes! Try adding sprinkles, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts.
