How to Make Creme De Menthe Truffles

In a 2-quart saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy whipping cream over low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until warm.
Remove from heat.
Add 12 ounces of creme de menthe baking chips and 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Stir until completely melted and smooth.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish lined with wax paper.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Line two baking sheets with wax paper.
Turn the chilled chocolate mixture out onto a wax paper-lined cutting board.
Cut the mixture into 1-inch squares.
Place the squares 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
In a deep 1-quart saucepan, melt 12 ounces of white candy coating over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
In a small zip-top bag, combine 1/4 cup of the melted white candy coating and 2 drops of green food coloring.
Seal the bag and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
Using a fork, dip each truffle one at a time into the melted white candy coating to fully coat.
Place the coated truffles back onto the wax paper-lined baking sheets.
Snip a tiny corner off the zip-top bag containing the green mixture.
Drizzle each dipped truffle with the green mixture.
Let the truffles stand for 10 minutes to set.
Store in the refrigerator. Optional: Place each truffle in an individual mini foil muffin cup for easy gifting.
