Thin Mint Truffles

I recently got to attend my first blog conference organized by one of my favorite bloggers Six Sisters. It was such a blast and I loved being able to meet the Six Sisters in person. They are such an amazing and talented group of girls. I learned so much at the conference and was able to make friendships with other fellow bloggers at the conference.

The Six Sisters just released their first cookbook. I was so excited to buy a copy at the conference and there are so many great recipes and fun crafts inside! Book is available here. I have seen these thin mint truffles on pinterest. Thin mint cookies are my favorite girl scout cookies with Samoas coming in at a close second. I knew that I had to make these delicious truffles and I loved how easy they were! I took them to a party with me on Saturday and they were a huge hit. The mint flavor and chocolate in these combined make them amazing!

Rating: 5 stars  Difficulty of Recipe: 2 stars
Review:  I used the entire package of cream cheese and the original recipe called for ½ package. They were so yummy but you can reduce the cream cheese in half if you want to. These are also so fun for St Patricks Day or anytime you want a fun treat! I will be making these again, especially when thin mints are my favorite!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ▢ 1 package (9 ounce) thin mint girl scout cookies (or Keebler grasshopper cookies)
• ▢ 1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
• ▢ 1 Bag (12 oz) Guittards Green Mint chips (or green candy melts)
• ▢ 5 oz white chocolate chips

Instructions

 

• In a food processor pulse the thin mint cookies until they are fine in consistency.
• Blend together crushed thin mint cookies and softened cream cheese.  You can mix them by hand, or I used my kitchenAid mixer.
• Roll the mixture into tablespoon sized balls and set on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.  Allow them to chill in the fridge for a couple of hours to harden.  This will make them easier to roll in the melted chocolate.
• Melt the green mint chips in the microwave stirring 30 seconds at a time being careful not to overcook.  Roll the balls into the melted chocolate to coat and place them to harden on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• For the white chocolate drizzle, melt the chocolate 30 seconds at a time until melted.  Spoon the melted chocolate into a plastic baggie and cut a tiny slit in the corner and drizzle the chocolate over the top of the truffles.  Store the truffles in the fridge until ready to serve.
