Chocolate truffles
MELT 8 chocolate squares (or 8 oz of chips = 1 1/3 c). Beat cream cheese with mixer until creamy. Blend in melted chocolate. Refrigerate until firm.
SHAPE into 36 balls.* use a melon baller. Place on waxed paper-covered baking sheet.** I suggest chilling again for easier handling.
MELT remaining chocolate. Use fork to dip truffles; return to baking sheet. Decorate, then refrigerate 1 hour. **Try stabbing them w/ a toothpick to dip in the chocolate then gently slide them off and cover the hole.
So far I just have the filling made and chilling, but it is very tasty, should make great christmas gifts.
**Edited to Add, I finished these yesterday and they are fabulous. You can taste a hint of the cream cheese so they kind of taste like a very mild cheese cake. Very creamy, very rich, very delicious. So simple. Make some! :-D
