Although I’ve made a few peppermint recipes in my time (Peppermint Slice and Peppermint Cheesecake) I’m actually not the biggest fan of  peppermint and chocolate together – crazy I know!  This didn’t stop me grabbing a few Peppermint Crisp bars from the supermarket when they were on special recently, as I have been wanting to try this Chocolate Peppermint Balls recipe for MONTHS – ever since I came across it in an old football club recipe book.

Recipes really don’t get much more simple than this, and the boys were a little disappointed when it took us no time at all to put these together.  They were both eager to have a go at rolling the balls, but this mixture is quite sticky and their attempts quickly ended in tears – literally.

We made these the good old fashioned way but you can also easily make them using your Thermomix which takes next to no time at all.

My husband was a big fan of these sweet and chocolately balls and over the course of a few days easily polished off the entire plate of them.

    I’m a huge fan of mint yet know so many people that don’t like it. Ah well, that means more for me!

    I made these for a family birthday do during the week. Delicious! Although mine went flat rather than staying as balls! Got around the stickiness by having wet hands.

      That’s a good tip Melanie, it sure gets pretty sticky. I found I had to roll and squeeze them firmly and pop in the fridge straight away for them to be balls – either way they still taste great 🙂 I hope you have a lovely weekend.

    What is an alternative you could use instead of peppermint crisps & chocolate ripple biscuits? I’m from New Zealand and I haven’t seen these products in any of our stores before.

      I think you should be able to use any plain biscuit and any type of peppermint chocolate bar that’s available 🙂

      Hi Sam,
      Thank you! I use the large peppermint crips bars, sorry I’m not sure of their weight.

    Does anyone know how long they will last if in a air proof container. Trying to get some Xmas cooking done in advance. Will have to hide them from my hubby though.

    If they held as balls, would definitely give a 5 rating. We use more chocolate ripple biscuits to keep them ball shape.

    I added another half a pack of choc ripple biscuits and a teaspoon of peppermint essence, popped the mix back into the fridge to firm up for about an hour before rolling. Made a good mix, not too sticky and held their shape really well 🙂 They were a big hit for Chrissy!
