Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (9 oz) package Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies (or Keebler Grasshopper cookies)
4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1 (12 oz) bag Guittard's Green Mint Chips (I just found these at the grocery store)*

  • Place cookie crumbs and softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
  • Roll mixture into 1-inch sized balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
  • Place baking sheet in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Melt mint chips (or white chocolate chips) in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until melted (about 2 minutes).
  • Add food coloring to melted white chocolate chips if using white chocolate.
  • Dip each ball into melted chocolate until completely covered using two forks. Lift ball out of the chocolate and scrape off excess chocolate before placing on baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle on cookie crumbs for garnish, if desired.

Categories     Candy

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (9 ounce) box girl scout thin mint cookies, finely crushed in food processor
1 (4 ounce) cream cheese, softened
dark chocolate almond bark or dark chocolate candy melts, approximately 8 ounces
20 white chocolate candy melts (or green and white nonpareils)

Steps:

  • Combine pulverized cookie crumbs and cream cheese, mixing together with a wooden spoon to distribute as evenly as possible. When no longer able to incorporate with a spoon, with your hands squeeze mixture together to bind. Form mixture into 24 1-inch balls and place on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Freeze for 1 hour.
  • In the meantime, melt the dark chocolate bark or melts in a double boiler. Using a toothpick, dip truffles completely into melted dark chocolate and twirl to allow the excess to drip off. Place back on lined baking sheet and, if desired, sprinkle with nonpareils before chocolate sets, otherwise see green drizzle below. Refrigerate until firm.
  • If drizzling with the melted green-colored chocolate, melt in double boiler. Color melted white chocolate with 2 drops of green food coloring. Drizzle over the top cooled truffles with a back-and-forth decorative pattern.
