Andes Mint Cookie Dough Truffles Recipe for St. Patrick's Day or Christmas www.wishesndishes.comAndes Mint Cookie Dough Truffles are where it’s at for a St. Patrick’s Day dessert! Who else is enjoying the two feet of freshly fallen snow in their city?  No?  Me neither.

Spring feels like it’s lightyears away, especially when getting hit with major blizzards when we’re well into the month of March.  Just when I was starting to see green when I looked out the window. On the “bright” side, the Weather Channel was broadcasting live in Rochester yesterday due to the epic blizzard – pretty exciting!

I’m not usually a chocolate and mint person, but for some reason I love them together on special occasions and for the holidays.  I love my Andes Mint Fudge, for example. St. Patrick’s day is perfect for anything green or MINTY!

So, when I saw these Andes mint cookie dough truffles from Shugary Sweets I just KNEW I had to try them out (she has an awesome blog if you haven’t checked it out yet). These super easy truffles are no-bake and a delicious combination of mint and chocolate. You can never go wrong with cookie dough, especially in truffle form!
