Mint Chocolate Chip Truffles

My absolute FAVORITE flavor in anything is mint chocolate!  Yum. Yummm.

I honestly had quite an addiction to mint chocolate chip ice cream a few years ago.  It was so bad that I couldn't go a night without 2 or 3 scoops. 

No wonder I was overweight and had uncontrollable cravings.  Sheesh!

However I still love the flavor - so I search high and low to find healthy recipes that use this flavor combo! 

Just in time for the Holidays and tasty homemade gifts, Mint Chocolate Chip Truffles!
