Here are three reasons why you should make these Grasshopper Truffles today:- They have an awesome mint-chocolate taste. Mint and chocolate is one of my favorite flavor combinations, and it should be one of yours, too!
- They are ridiculously, supremely, stupidly easy to make. Can you crush cookies? Can you mash cookies and frosting together in a bowl? If you answered yes to both of these questions, you can make these truffles. (And if you are thinking these sound a bit like Oreo truffles, you're right. They're not made with Oreos or cream cheese, but the concept of cookie crumbs forming the truffle base is the same. And isn't that a concept we can all get behind?)
- They allow you the opportunity to make many truly groan-worthy jokes about "patience, young grasshopper" while making and eating these cookies.
