Boozy Peppermint Truffles
While you won’t often catch me eating chocolate, I will never pass up a delicious chocolate truffle!
They are one of a few desserts I indulge in and have to make double just to ensure I get my fair share.
I do have a traditional chocolate truffle recipe on the blog from many years ago, but this year I wanted to make some just for the adults.
These Boozy Peppermint Truffles are the perfect little treat for the grown-ups at your holiday parties this year!
I use peppermint schnapps which makes these truffles a little bit boozy and gives delicious peppermint flavour.
The amount of alcohol in these truffles is minimal, they definitely won’t be getting anyone drunk.

Gather the ingredients you will need to make these delicious truffles.
Recipe Notes:
- Heavy cream must be used to make truffles, they won’t set with lower fat milk.
- For this recipe, I used Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate as that is what I had in the cupboard, but any good quality chocolate will work in this recipe!
- I have also used Lily’s and Whole Foods Market Organic too, they both work wonderfully.
- The butter makes the truffles rich and creamy, but it is optional and you could use coconut oil if you prefer.
- Peppermint schnapps makes these truffles a bit boozy and gives them a delicious peppermint flavour.

Heat the cream in a small saucepan, just until it begins to steam.
Add the chocolate and butter to a heatproof bowl and then pour the cream over the top. Set the mixture aside for 2 minutes.
After a few minutes, whisk the ganache together until it is smooth.
Then, whisk in the peppermint schnapps.
Transfer the ganache to the fridge and chill it until set– about 2 hours.

Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized truffles and roll them into smooth balls.
Pop them back in the fridge for a few minutes while you get the garnish ready.

In a small bowl place some cocoa powder.
Place chocolate bark in a microwave-safe dish and melt.
Roll your boozy peppermint truffles in cocoa powder, or dip them in the melted chocolate bark and garnish with some crushed candy cane!

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
