  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  10      oz            Mint chocolate chips
     1/4  c             Butter
     1/3  c             Whipping cream
   3      oz            Chocolate sprinkles

Melt chips with whipping cream and butter in heavy, medium saucepan
over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Pour into pie pan. Refrigerate until mixture is fudgy, but soft,
about 2 hours.

Shape about 1 tb mixture into 1-1/4" ball. To shape, roll mixture in
your palms. Place ball on waxed paper.

Place sprinkles in shallow bowl.

Roll balls in sprinkles, place in petit four or candy cases. If
coating mixture won't stick because truffle has set, roll between
your palms until outside is soft.

Truffles can be refrigerated 2 to 3 days or frozen several weeks.

Hint:

Truffles are coated with cocoa, powdered sugar, nuts, sprinkles, or
cookie crumbs to add flavor and prevent the truffle from melting in
your fingers.
