These Creme de Menthe Truffles are covered in chocolate and have a creamy mint filling that melts in your mouth. They are one of my favorite Easy Christmas Candies!
In a large bowl mix together melted butter, pecans, and creme de menthe.You can use an electric mixer or a wooden spoon.
Gradually mix in powdered sugar.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
Dust hands with powdered sugar. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Place chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 20 second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted.
Using a fork, one at a time coat the balls in the melted chocolate and then return to the baking sheet.
