Minty Flavored Cocoa Truffles

"From early October through sometime in December, your neighborhood Trader Joe’s is filled with a variety of sweets. Indulgent, decadent, rich, innovative, and often unique offerings can be found on shelves and racks throughout the store. We take tremendous pleasure in the development and delivery of each of these marvelous mouthfuls (mouths-full?), from the simplest to the most painstakingly crafted unicorn of a confection. Trader Joe’s Minty Cocoa Truffles exist, in our stores, as both simple and painstakingly crafted, and each one delivers pure, crisp satisfaction wrapped in lusciously creamy chocolatey cocoa. The idea for these Truffles came from an item we offer in our stores every day—they’re often referred to as “the cocoa truffles in the red box.” TJ’s classics from way back, while undeniably delicious, they’re pretty basic. These Minty Cocoa Truffles take that same base confection and add a cool minty flavor factor and crunchy pearl sugar bits for texture to make something familiar—yet entirely new. We’re in love with these, and we hope you will be, too."
