Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Blend softened cream cheese and confectioner's sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  2. Combine semisweet chocolate chips and crushed Andes mints in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the cream cheese blend until both components are fully combined.
  4. Transfer the chocolate cream mixture onto plastic wrap, shape into a log, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
  5. Once firm, roll into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
  6. Melt the milk chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth, keeping warm.
  7. Dip each truffle ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated, tapping off excess chocolate.
  8. Sprinkle with chopped Andes mints or drizzle with melted green chocolate for finishing touches.
  9. Let the truffles sit at room temperature until the chocolate coating is set, about 30 minutes.
