What Are Chocolate Mint Creams?
Homemade versions are not only tastier than store-bought but also allow you to control the ingredients and customize the intensity of the mint flavor.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (for coating)
How To Make Chocolate Mint Creams
Step 1: Prepare the Mint Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, softened butter, heavy cream, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract.
- Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy. It should be firm enough to shape but still soft.
Step 2: Shape the Creams
- Scoop small spoonfuls of the mint mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls or discs.
- Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 3: Coat with Chocolate
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each mint cream into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Place the coated candies back onto parchment paper.
