Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 8 oz White Chocolate finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp Butter cubed and softened
  • 1/2 tsp Peppermint Extract
  • 4 oz CandiQuik Chocolate or White
  • 3 Candy Canes crushed

Instructions

  • Heat heavy cream in a sauce pan over low heat until it just comes to a boil.
  • Remove from heat and add white chocolate.
  • Allow to sit for 2 minutes to let chocolate begin to melt.
  • Whisk until smooth.
  • Add the butter and peppermint extract and whisk until smooth.
  • Transfer the mixture into a bowl and cool to room temperature.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Measure about 2 teaspoons of the chilled filling and roll between your hands to form a ball and place on prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining filling.
  • Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Melt CandiQuik in microwave by heating for 30 seconds and then stirring and repeating until melted.
  • Use a fork to drop your truffles into the candy coating.
  • Roll the truffles around to ensure a nice even coating and use the fork to lift the truffles back out.
  • Place the dipped truffles back onto the baking sheets and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
  • Let truffles sit at room temperature until set, about 1 hour.

Notes

If filling is too soft or sticky to form into balls, add a little powdered sugar to the mix.
