Indulge in the rich, decadent flavor of mint chocolate truffles, a delightful treat perfect for any occasion. These luxurious confections combine smooth, velvety chocolate with a refreshing hint of mint, offering a truly exquisite taste experience.

Storage Time

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks for optimal freshness and texture. If stored at cool room temperature, consume within 3-5 days.

Temperature

Ideal storage is in the refrigerator at 0-4°C (32-40°F) to maintain their firm texture and prevent melting.

Freezing

Mint chocolate truffles can be frozen to extend their shelf life. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. To thaw, transfer the truffles to the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Freezing may slightly alter the texture, making them a bit softer upon thawing, but the flavor will remain largely intact.

Signs of Spoilage

• Visible mold growth on the surface.
• An off, sour, or rancid smell, distinct from the usual chocolate and mint aroma.
• A greasy or oily sheen on the chocolate coating, indicating separation of cocoa butter.
