Steps:
- In a medium-sized glass bowl, combine the chocolate chips with the heavy cream. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Microwave for an additional minute if needed, until chocolate is completely smooth when stirred.
- Stir in the peppermint extract.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to mold, let sit on the counter for about 5 minutes. Prepare a tray, cutting board or plate by lining it with parchment paper.
- Use a 1-inch scoop to make the balls. Gently roll them in the palms of your hand until round. Place a toothpick in the top of each ball and freeze for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
- In a coffee cup or deep jar, melt the chocolate wafers in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until the wafers are completely melted.
- Holding the toothpick, dip the truffle into the chocolate, swirling until it is completely covered. Shake the truffle into the cup of the extra chocolate on the truffle and gently scrape the bottom of the truffle on the side of the jar then place back on the parchment paper.
- Once the chocolate has hardened (about 5 minutes), gently remove all of the toothpicks from the truffles.
- Add the white chocolate wafers to a small plastic baggie and microwave in 30-second increments until the chocolate has melted. Twist the baggie so all of the chocolate moves to one corner of the bag, then make a very small snip with scissors to that corner. Drizzle the white chocolate on the top of the truffle, covering the hole the toothpick left.
- Immediately sprinkle the white chocolate with a pinch of the crushed peppermint pieces.

MINT CHOCOLATE BONBONS
Steps:
- Spray a 24-count mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place an approximately 20-inch-long piece of plastic wrap over the muffin pan, leaving about 4 inches of excess plastic hanging over the ends of the pan. Press the plastic into each cup of the pan, making sure the cups are completely lined with the plastic wrap.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon measure, scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons ice cream into each muffin cup so they are filled to the top. Place a chocolate cookie on top of each ice cream-filled muffin cup and gently press down. Freeze until the ice cream hardens, about 3 hours.
- Place a wire rack over a baking sheet. Line a second baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Carefully remove the plastic wrap from the muffin pan to release the bonbons from the muffin cups. Place the bonbons cookie-side down on the baking sheet lined with the wire rack. Slowly pour some of the chocolate shell ice cream sauce over about 1 to 2 bonbons at a time to cover completely. Before the sauce hardens, sprinkle the top of the bonbon with the chopped mint candies. The sauce will harden in about 30 seconds, so continue to coat 1 to 2 bonbons at a time before topping them with the chopped candies, until all 24 are coated and topped.
- Transfer the bonbons from the rack to the parchment-lined baking sheet with an offset spatula or butter knife. If needed, dip the offset spatula in hot water, then use it to remove the bonbons from rack. (The hot spatula will help prevent the chocolate shell from cracking when you remove them.) Store in a resealable container in the freezer until ready to serve, for up to one week.
PEPPERMINT CHOCOLATE BONBONS
I have not tried this recipe. I'm posting this recipe for a request from the boards. This recipe is from My Great Recipes. Although peppermint chocolate bonbons sound fancy and complicated, they are one of the simplest confections to prepare. The trick is to purchase real chocolate and then melt it over very low heat. It makes a thoughtful gift when packed in a decorative, reusable tin or box.

- Divide the mixture into 24 portions.
- Drop into paper bonbon cups or first roll into small balls before placing into cups.

Steps:
- In large bowl, combine margarine, confectioners' sugar, condensed milk, coconut, chopped walnuts and vanilla. Stir well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until mixture has thickened enough to roll into balls. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place close together, but not touching, on cookie sheets. Freeze until hard.
- While bonbons are freezing, line a cookie sheet or flat surface with waxed paper. Combine chocolate chips and shortening in the top of a double boiler, over, not in, simmering water. Stir until melted. Using a toothpick or a fork, dip each bonbon in the melted chocolate. Place on waxed paper to dry. When chocolate has hardened, store bonbons in plastic bag in the freezer.
