Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat coconut milk just until it's about to boil. Remove from heat and stir in the peppermint extract.
- Pour coconut milk over the chocolate in a medium bowl.

- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Take a tablespoon or cookie scoop and scoop out some of the hardened ganache.
- Quickly roll the chocolate into a ball (the heat from your hands will start to melt the chocolate so move fast.

- Melt 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips in a glass bowl in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted.
- Dip the truffles in the melted chocolate, tapping off any excess chocolate. Place on the parchment paper and immediately top with crushed candy canes.
- Let set in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
