Dark Chocolate Peppermint Truffles

Better than their traditional counterparts, these healthy Dark Chocolate Peppermint Truffles only have 4 ingredients: unsweetened cocoa powder, unsweetened applesauce, honey, and peppermint extract. You only have to thoroughly mix these healthy ingredients in a bowl, roll them into truffle-sized balls, and chill them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. When you take your first bite, you'll be surprised that these healthy Christmas treats taste just like (and maybe better than) peppermint truffles made with melted chocolate and heavy cream. At only 27 calories per truffle, these delicious no-bake desserts are the perfect guilt-free holiday treats.

Celebrate With More Delicious Dessert Ideas

We absolutely adore the richness and indulgence of Dark Chocolate Peppermint Truffles, so we're thrilled to recommend a few dessert recipes that we think you'll love just as much!

If you're a fan of the classic combination of chocolate and mint, you might enjoy trying your hand at making a batch of Chocolate Mint Brownies. These fudgy, decadent treats are perfect for indulging in during the cooler months and would be a hit at any holiday gathering.

For those who love the creamy texture of truffles but want something a bit more unique, we suggest giving Matcha White Chocolate Truffles a try. The earthy, slightly bitter flavor of matcha pairs perfectly with the sweetness of white chocolate for a sophisticated treat that's sure to impress.

If you're looking to expand your dessert-making skills and try something a little more challenging, we recommend attempting to make Salted Caramel Macarons. These delicate French cookies are filled with a rich salted caramel buttercream and have a crisp exterior that gives way to a chewy, flavorful center.

No matter which recipe you choose to try next, we're confident that you'll enjoy the process of baking and the delicious results that await you. Happy baking!
