A recipe perfect for children to make! Choc-Mint truffles with no cooking or heating required. I use chocolate covered chocolate sandwich cookies filled with a mint cream. Oreos would work too, but the addition of mint essence will be needed. I make these for birthday presents for friends and school teachers. **Cooking time is chilling time.
