These Chocolate Mint Truffles are inspired by the classic flavor pairing I absolutely adore. The love began with Baskin Robbins chocolate chip mint ice cream. A flavor, I must admit, remains a favorite to this day.
And then came the Andes Chocolate Mints. They were and are divine.
But nothing can compare to these 3-ingredient Chocolate Mint Truffles, to me.
While I’ll always love Boehm’s Chocolate Truffles or Frango Mints — it’s equally rewarding to make my own.
And incredibly easy. So easy you won’t want to divulge that secret to the recipient of your homemade holiday truffles.
They are special enough for gifts, perfect for the holidays, and indulgent enough for a pillow treat on Valentine’s Day.

Hi Mary! The truffles will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or frozen for 6 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. When serving, let them soften a bit at room temperature.
