White Chocolate Peppermint Bombs
admin
These chocolate bombs are filled with Creme de Cacao, Peppermint Liqueur and peppermint candy to create an adult twist on this holiday favorite. Enjoy them as truffles or add them to your hot cocoa.
Add chocolate wafers to a mixing bowl and microwave at 30 second intervals until melted.
Pour melted chocolate into molds using a small spoon to spread the chocolate to the sides. Then flip the mold upside down to remove excess chocolate. Clean excess chocolate from mold. Put in the freezer for 5 minutes. Remove shells from mold.

In a medium bowl, add the white chocolate chips
In a small saucepan on low heat, bring the heavy cream to a simmer

Let stand for 5 minutes
Add Creme de Cacao and Peppermint liqueur
Using a spatula gently stir ganache until incorporated and chocolate is smooth
For the Assembly:
Heat a small skillet and set aside near work station
Take one half shell and gently place on skillet for 2 seconds for edges to melt. Move to counter.
Fill the half shell with the chocolate ganache filling, and top with crushed peppermint candy.
Take another half shell and melt edges in skillet then put on the filled half, holding for a few seconds until edges stick together. Set aside. Continue until all shells are used.
