Steps:
- In a medium-sized glass bowl, combine the chocolate chips with the heavy cream. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Microwave for an additional minute if needed, until chocolate is completely smooth when stirred.
- Stir in the peppermint extract.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to mold, let sit on the counter for about 5 minutes. Prepare a tray, cutting board or plate by lining it with parchment paper.
- Use a 1-inch scoop to make the balls. Gently roll them in the palms of your hand until round. Place a toothpick in the top of each ball and freeze for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
- In a coffee cup or deep jar, melt the chocolate wafers in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until the wafers are completely melted.
- Holding the toothpick, dip the truffle into the chocolate, swirling until it is completely covered. Shake the truffle into the cup of the extra chocolate on the truffle and gently scrape the bottom of the truffle on the side of the jar then place back on the parchment paper.
- Once the chocolate has hardened (about 5 minutes), gently remove all of the toothpicks from the truffles.
- Add the white chocolate wafers to a small plastic baggie and microwave in 30-second increments until the chocolate has melted. Twist the baggie so all of the chocolate moves to one corner of the bag, then make a very small snip with scissors to that corner. Drizzle the white chocolate on the top of the truffle, covering the hole the toothpick left.
- Immediately sprinkle the white chocolate with a pinch of the crushed peppermint pieces.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, heat the cream just until it comes to a boil. Then immediately remove cream from heat and add in chopped chocolate. Allow the mixture to sit, untouched, for two minutes, then whisk smooth. Stir in the butter and peppermint extract and vigorously whisk until smooth and shiny.
- Pour the mixture into a medium bowl and cool to room temperature before tightly covering the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerating for 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
- Fill a medium pot one-third full with water and bring it to a low simmer over medium heat. Place a heatproof bowl that will fit on top of the pan snugly, but will not touch the simmering water, on top of the pan. Reduce the heat to low and add two-thirds of the chopped chocolate into the bowl over the pot. Heat until the chocolate is completely melted, stirring occasionally with a silicone spatula. Once the chocolate is completely melted, remove the pan from the heat - keeping the bowl on top of the pan - and stir in the reserved chocolate.
- Right before dipping, pour the melted chocolate into a liquid measuring cup.
- Before you begin, make sure you have enough room in your refrigerator for both baking sheets; the truffles must chill before being dipped in the chocolate coating.
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
- Measure 2 teaspoons of the truffle filling and quickly roll it between your hands to form a ball. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, and repeat with all truffles. Refrigerate the rolled truffles for at least 15 minutes before dipping in the chocolate.
- Remove the chilled truffles from the refrigerator and begin dipping them into the chocolate using a small spoon or fork. Transfer the dipped truffles back onto the baking sheets and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
- Allow truffles to sit at room temperature until set, about 1 hour.

Steps:
- Line a 13-by-9 1/2-inch rimmed baking sheet with plastic wrap; set aside.
- In a heatproof bowl, set over (but not touching) simmering water, melt 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate and milk chocolate together until it reaches 120 degrees.
- Place cream in a small saucepan over medium heat; heat until cream just comes to a boil. Meanwhile, chop mint leaves and transfer to a medium stainless steel bowl. Pour cream over mint and let steep 10 minutes. Strain cream mixture through 4 layers of cheesecloth.
- Remove chocolate mixture from heat and add to 1 1/3 cups cream mixture, reserving any remaining cream for another use. Using a heatproof spatula, mix together, starting from the center of the saucepan and working your way to the outer edges until mixture is emulsified. Add butter and mix with an immersion blender until well combined. Pour mixture into prepared baking sheet, evenly spreading mixture with an offset spatula; cover with plastic wrap, pressing down gently on chocolate mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, and up to overnight.
- Line the back of another 13-by-9 1/2-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Uncover chocolate and invert onto parchment paper; remove second piece of plastic wrap. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, and a steel ruler as a guide, cut chocolate into 1-inch squares.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Roll each square of chocolate between your hands to form a smooth ball. Transfer chocolate balls to baking sheet; refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Melt remaining 16 ounces bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl, set over (but not touching) simmering water. Place cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Place some of the melted chocolate in the palm of your hand and roll a chocolate ball in the melted chocolate to coat, then roll in cocoa powder. Repeat process with remaining chocolate balls. Transfer truffles to an airtight container, stacking truffles no more than 2 to 3 inches high, and refrigerate up to 2 weeks. Bring truffles to room temperature just before serving.
