Candy can be a very fun activity. And the results are so worth it. Whether for a special occasion or simply for pleasure, turning your own candy is very rewarding. Here is a recipe for chocolate candy – my favorite! These delicious Mint Chocolate Truffles are from a recipe I found years ago in Cooking Light magazine.
CHOCOLATE MINT TRUFFLES
1 / 3 cup mint-chocolate semisweet chips
4 ounces Neufchatel cheese, softened
16 oz pkg powdered sugar, sifted
1 / unsweetened cocoa 4 cups
1 / 4 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 v. soup-mint semisweet chocolate chips
Place 1 / 3 cup mint-chocolate chips in microwave at medium and large bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute or until chips are almost melted. Stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.
When chocolate is cooled, add the Neufchatel cheese and beat at medium speed of electric mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar mixture and beat until well blended. Press mixture into a square by 6 inches resistant film on plastic and cover with additional plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least an hour. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap and truffles cut into 48 squares. Roll each square into a ball and place on waxed paper. Roll half the balls in the unsweetened cocoa and other half in the powdered sugar. Place 2 tablespoons of mint chocolate chips in a heavy zip top plastic bag. Microwave on high 1 minute or until what chips are softened. Knead the bag until chips are smooth. Make a tiny snip in one bottom corner of bag. Pour over the chocolate balls which were rolled in cocoa. Serve at room temperature.
Note: I received this recipe from Cooking Light magazine in 1999.
Enjoy!
