4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened
2 c. powdered sugar
1 t. peppermint extract (not mint)
1 drop green food coloring gel (gel works best)
1/2 c. mini semisweet chocolate chips
12 oz. Ghirardelli melting chocolate, melted (dark chocolate, white chocolate, or both)
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Beat cream cheese and butter until creamy; add sugar, peppermint extract and food coloring; beat until well combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
Using a 1 T. scoop, drop onto the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for about an hour or more.
Use finger tips to shape frozen truffles into a ball. Using toothpicks, pick up truffles; dip into melted chocolate, tapping the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. If desired, add several mini chocolate chips for garnish.
Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
