Peppermint Ganache Truffles

• 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
• 10 ounces, weight Dark Chocolate
• 2 Tablespoons Peppermint Schnapps Or 1 Tablespoon Peppermint Extract
• 10 ounces, weight Milk Chocolate Melting Pieces
• 2 whole Peppermint Candy Canes, Crushed

1. In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a boil. Pour over the dark chocolate in a stainless steel bowl, stirring constantly until all chocolate is melted. Stir in Peppermint Schnapps. Allow to cool completely on the counter. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the ganache into small balls and lightly roll until smooth. Freeze on a cookie sheet for at least one hour.
2. Melt the milk chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth and glossy. Remove ganache balls from the freezer and dip one by one into the melted chocolate. Immediately sprinkle with peppermint pieces. If necessary, place the truffles in the fridge for a few minutes to set the chocolate. Enjoy.
