Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 stick Butter, melted
- 0.25 cup Creme de menthe liqueur
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Green sanding sugar or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder.
Pour the melted butter and creme de menthe liqueur into the dry ingredients and mix until a moist dough forms.
Using a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon, form 1-inch balls from the dough and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream together in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth and glossy.
Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully coat each ball in the melted chocolate and place it back on the parchment-lined sheet.
If desired, sprinkle the coated balls with green sanding sugar or sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
Refrigerate the balls for 1 hour or until the chocolate is set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
