Indulge in the delightful combination of chocolate and mint with these homemade Chocolate Mint Creams. These creamy, minty treats are perfect for any occasion, from holiday gatherings to sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Mint Cream:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream (plus more if needed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Green food coloring (optional)

Chocolate Coating:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening

Instructions

  1. Mint Cream: In a medium bowl, beat together powdered sugar, softened butter, heavy cream, and peppermint extract until a thick dough forms.
  2. Add a drop or two of green food coloring if desired and mix until the color is even.
  3. If the mixture is too dry, add a tiny splash of cream; if too sticky, add more powdered sugar.
  4. Roll into 1-inch balls, then flatten into discs.
  5. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the freezer for 20–30 minutes.
  6. Chocolate Coating: Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Dip each chilled mint cream into the melted chocolate using a fork, tapping off excess.
  8. Return to the baking sheet and refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
  • For a holiday twist, sprinkle crushed candy canes on top before the chocolate sets.
