These Chocolate Mint Truffles are a lovely little homemade treat, made with just a few simple ingredients. Combining chocolate mint biscuits with condensed milk creates a deliciously rich truffle with a smooth, chocolatey flavour and a refreshing hint of mint.
They are easy to prepare and ideal for sharing with friends and family, adding to a Christmas treat platter or making as a homemade gift. A great recipe to have on hand when you want something sweet without too much fuss.
Homemade treats to keep in the freezer
My freezer is starting to fill up already. I have so many ideas for wonderful recipes I want to share that even though it is just early November I am already starting to fill it up with delicious treats.
Which is handy if we need to go somewhere or give a little thank you to a friend as deliciousness is never far away!
An easy two-ingredient no-bake treat
I have to feel a little sorry for my husband and children, as rarely is an ingredient in the cupboard for its intended purpose.
Many times, I have found a half-eaten packet of biscuits that were intended for a recipe, but how are they to know! So it took me a few attempts to make this one as the biscuits kept disappearing.
I have been wanting to try this recipe for some time to see if it is as good as I imagined it would be, and who doesn’t love two-ingredient no-bake treats! Just condensed milk and chocolate mint biscuits and we have a delicious combo!
Why I use condensed milk instead of cream cheese
My recipe for Tim Tam Truffles has been so popular. They are a really simple way to make a great looking treat for gifts or a special occasion, especially as they now come in so many flavours you can create an amazing array of combinations.
Many recipes out there use cream cheese, which is great but I am not such a huge fan so I tried it with condensed milk and it was wonderful!
How to decorate your chocolate mint truffles
The next step was to see what it would be like combining condensed milk with chocolate mint biscuits and they are just lovely! So quick and simple to make, and you can make them as simple or as flash as you choose!
I have rolled them both in coconut and also dipped them in chocolate to show you just a few ways to make these truffles look great. Or of course you could leave them plain.
Which biscuits to use and how many truffles to make
You can find Mint Treats or Mint Slice biscuits in the biscuit aisle. One packet of biscuits does not make many truffles, so always consider doubling or even tripling the recipe if you want it for a crowd or to make as gifts. The rolling is of course time-consuming but worth the extra effort.

I made these for my Christmas platter and family gifts last month and they were delicious! So much so, they never actually made it to the platter and family saw none of them, lol. SO good!
Anna From Just A Mum says
Haha, i’m so pleased you loved them! Anna
Allison says
Hi, if I dip in chocolate do they need to be also rolled in coconut first?
justamumnz says
No, you can roll them in coconut or chocolate.

Hello Anna, I just found your wonderful website, gorgeous recipes! I live in the UK and I am not familiar with TIM TAMS? Any ideas what our equivalent would be? Also, CHOC MINT SLICE? we don’t get that either, I am wondering what I could use? I have just made some Anzac Biscuits as my Grand Daughter Edith is learning all about New Zealand at School, they are gorgeous. We are in Lockdown here at the moment so I may be working my way through your Recipes! I love the ones you can Freeze, so I can make and Freeze until we are all able to be together!
justamumnz says
I believe Penguins are similar. Some international stores online do sell the original Tim Tam in the UK so see if you can find those. There are now so many flavours of Tim Tam! Looking online possibly Viscount Mint Cremes might be similar? Mint Slice biscuits are a chocolate biscuit with a white mint creme Centre coated in chocolate. Let me know how you get on.
Chelce Marshall says
Was looking in the comments for exactly this! Thank you 🙂
Kylie says
So yum!! Made in next to no time and so good that hubby couldnt believe I made them. Excited to try the Tim Tam ones next.
justamumnz says
Awesome!
Margaret says
If dipping in chocolate, is it necessary to refrigerate first?
justamumnz says
Best to let them set first yes.
Deb Murphy says
Hi there,
Love this!!!!
At what point do you do drizzle the white chocolate on top and what’s the best way to do it?
Thanks,
Deb.
justamumnz says
Drizzle the white chocolate after you have dipped in dark chocolate but once the dark chocolate has set a little.
Ang says
Just made these and put in jars for teacher gifts. You’re a lifesaver! Just discovered your blog and live your recipes! Thank you! To those wondering I made the recipe x 3. One tin of condensed milk and three packs of mint slice and I got 53 med size balls out of this. They taste awesome:-)
justamumnz says
That is fantastic!! I am so pleased you enjoyed the recipe. And such a great idea for gifts. xo Anna
Megan says
Hi. These sound relish. Can they be frozen for a few weeks? Thanks.
justamumnz says
Yes! Mine are in the freezer. The chocolate coated ones may change colour slightly but the coconut ones are great! ?
