Ingredients

• 8 ounces good-quality bittersweet chocolate
• 8 ounces good-quality semisweet chocolate
• One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• Mint extract (3 to 4 drops)
• 8 ounces meltable milk chocolate
• Decorator's sugar
• Green food coloring

Directions

1. Heat the dark chocolates and condensed milk in a double boiler over medium-low heat until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. The mixture will have a slight marshmallow texture. Stir in the mint extract to your taste.

2. Remove from the heat, and then cover and refrigerate until completely cool, at least 2 hours.

3. Once chilled, roll in teaspoon-size balls, and then dip into the melted milk chocolate coating, using a fork to let the excess chocolate drip off.

4. Color the decorators sugar with a small amount of green food coloring and sprinkle on top of the truffles.
