You can make a bunch of them ahead of time and keep them in the fridge. I don't want to say they'll save forever, but we have had half a batch of these in the fridge for weeks now and they're still good.
Or so Pete says.
I gave up chocolate for Lent, so I haven't been able to touch them for a month. That's really why they have lasted for so long.
Chocolate Mint Truffles Wedding Favors
You'll have to make these in batches, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Pick up cute mini cupcake wrappers. When your venue (or coordinator) are setting up your favors, have them place one truffle per wrapper.
What You'll Need:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups mint chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
What You'll Do:
Pour the heavy cream in a saucepan and heat it until it just starts to boil.
Remove it from the heat.
Stir in the mint chips and butter until the mixture is combined.
Cool in the fridge for a few hours until the mixture is solid.
If you check after two hours and it hasn't solidified, remove it from the fridge and put it back on the stove. Head it with a few spoonfuls of powdered sugar. Stir and put it back in the fridge for an hour.
Shape the mint mixture into tiny balls. One teaspoon per truffle is a pretty good size. Put them on a silicone baking mat-lined cookie sheet. This just makes them super easy to remove when you're ready.
Put them in the fridge for about 20 minutes so they hold the shape.
Melt the milk chocolate.
Dip the truffles in the chocolate and put them back on the cookie sheet.
Cool them in the fridge.
When you're ready, serve them in mini cupcake wrappers.
I used green wrappers because the truffles are mint, but you can have them match your wedding colors.
