Ingredients

  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate read more about what chocolate to use here
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract (not peppermint extract)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar or cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • In a separate bowl, pour in your chocolate and add your mint extract.
  • Once the cream has come to a boil, pour it over the chocolate and stir vigorously with a spoon (do not use a whisk) until the chocolate has melted.
  • Put the chocolate in the refrigerator for several hours until it sets. When you bring it back out, you will want to let it come to room temperature to form it into one-inch balls.
  • Roll the balls lightly in powdered sugar or cocoa powder. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
