Peppermint Bark Truffles
These simple four ingredient Peppermint Bark Truffles are the perfect easy Christmas candy recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups white chocolate and peppermint chips
- 3 cups dark chocolate melting wafers, chips, or a baking bar
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- peppermints or candy canes crushed for garnish
Instructions
-
Combine the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate peppermint chips in a large bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir the mixture together. If the chocolate hasn’t fully melted, microwave it for another 30 seconds.
-
Place the mixture in the fridge for 1-2 hours, or until it has set.
-
Scoop the mixture into 1” balls. I recommend using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to ensure all of the truffles are the same size.
-
Note: Have a glass of warm water nearby and dip your cookie scoop into it before scooping each ball. It will make them easier to scoop and release the truffles easier.
-
Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave on 30 second intervals-- stirring between each interval— until it is fully melted. It should take 1-2 minutes.
-
Dip the truffles one at a time into the melted dark chocolate. Allow any excess to drip off and then place the truffles on a parchment lined baking sheet to set. Garnish with crushed peppermints or candy canes.
-
Allow the truffles to set fully before enjoying. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Recipe Notes
Make sure to use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk.
If you can’t find White Chocolate Peppermint Chips, you can substitute 2 1/2 cups of white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup finely crushed candy canes.
I like the combination of dark chocolate with the peppermint in this recipe but you can use any chocolate you like— milk and semi-sweet would also be delicious.
The coconut oil helps the chocolate set and creates a shinier exterior. If you don’t have any, feel free to leave it out.
