Peppermint Mocha – the classic Christmas flavor combo. And one i’m typically not a fan of. But as I get older, I slowly start to realize why people love this flavor profile so much. The rich chocolate, the fresh mint, it truly can be a match made in heaven.
I say CAN because to me it all depends on the ratio. The peppermint can’t be too strong, otherwise it’s like you’re eating toothpaste – and no one wants that for dessert! But don’t worry, these Peppermint Mocha Truffles have the PERFECT ratio of chocolate to mint to mocha, if I do say so myself!
These little bit size truffles are gluten and dairy free, have no added sugar and are completely vegan (if you use the chocolate I linked in the recipe below)! These are perfect for the whole family, and everyone will be asking for more!
