St. Patrick's Day Chocolate Truffles Recipe

If you’re looking for a sweet little chocolate treat for St. Patrick’s Day, you’ve come to the right place. I had planned on making them a little more green, but had a little trouble finding any green sprinkles that would work. Now, I guess you could say they’re chocolate truffles with just a little bit o’ green. 😉

Serves: 15-20 (depending on size)

Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 tablespoon butter
1 (14oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
Lrg. container chocolate sprinkles
green candy melts
white chocolate chips (or white candy melts)

Instructions

Combine cocoa, butter and condensed milk in medium saucepan
Cook over medium heat until thickened (10 min. or so)
Remove from heat and let rest until cool enough to handle.
Pour sprinkles onto plate or in flat bottom bowl/container
Once cooled, drop chocolate from pan into sprinkles by tablespoon fulls, a few at a time.
Roll in sprinkles to coat, form into balls.
Repeat with remaining chocolate
After all truffles are formed, use melted white chocolate chips and green candy melts to decorate. (I just spooned it into sandwich bag and cut off a teeny corner of the bag)

Side note: Notice the little tin I used in the picture above says St. Paddy’s, not St. Patty’s? Well, I didn’t know it until recently when I read this article that Paddy is the correct spelling. I had been spelling it wrong all this time!
