Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp plus 3/4 cup butter, divided
3 cups sugar
1 can (5 oz) evaporated milk
2 cups (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow creme
1 tsp vanilla extract
baking cocoa , finely chopped nuts or chocolate sprinkles

Directions:

Line a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan with foil. Grease the foil with 1 tablespoon butter; set aside.
In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, milk and remaining butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until a candy thermometer reads 234° (soft-ball stage). Remove from the heat; stir in chips and peppermint extract until chocolate is melted. Stir in marshmallow creme and vanilla until smooth. Spread into prepared pan.
Refrigerate, uncovered, for 3 hours or until firm. Lift out of pan; cut into 1-1/2-in. squares. Roll each into a ball. Roll truffles in cocoa, nuts or sprinkles. Refrigerate in an airtight container. Yield: 70 truffles.
