Easy Homemade Truffle Gift Idea | Mint Chocolate & Vanilla Almond Flavors

[wadesgirl]

I made the mint chocolate and vanilla almond truffles to give away. The gal I teach a work out class for got the small caddy and bowl set with truffles in each bowl. Then I bought tins from Dollar Tree, used mini muffin liners and alternated each truffle in two layers to give away to my eye doctor and chiropractors offices. The first gal was amazed that they were homemade and said she had been eyeing the small caddy and bowl set (bought at 60% off on a December show!). The other two I'll give away tomorrow but they look really nice and professional. I took a picture to show but I couldn't find my camera cord right now. I'm going to print off the recipes to leave. This is more of a thank you rather than a business seeking adventure.

If you haven't made these truffles they are super simple and quick to make. The MFP cuts through the cookies fast and the dough comes together even faster.

Where did you find the recipes sound awesome?

On consultant's corner under the holiday stuff. They are called Creme de Menthe Truffles with two variations at the bottom.

The recipe is also on the first page of the Holiday Mini Catalog!

I made the recipe and gave them as a gift for my son's teacher and she called me before the end of the day and wanted the recipe.

I dropped off the other two this morning and the receptionist at the chiropractor also commented that they look professionally made!

They sound yummy! I ♥ mint! What are you ladies using for the "crème-filled chocolate-mint sandwich cookies"? Are they mint Oreos or something? Also wanted to note that Andes makes creme de menthe baking chips in 10 oz bags...saves unwrapping 28 pieces of chocolate, but I'm not sure how the price compares to using whole candies.

Yes it's Mint Oreos. Which are a bad thing around our house - I love mint! I did finally get the picture loaded. Here's what it looked like
