Truffles recipe!

Hi all!


I was asked to share a recipe for the truffles I made for the January Guest Designer challenge using kraft that was held last week.

Anyway, this recipe came from Kraftfoods magazine, I believe last December's issue.

Simply Sensational Truffles
Total: 15 min. plus refrigerating
Makes: 3 doz. or 18 servings, 2 truffles each

What you need:
2 1/2 pkg {20 squares} Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate, divided
1 pkg. {8oz} Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened -(make sure it's Philadelphia! Offbrands just don't cut it!)

Make It:
Melt 8 chocolate squares. Beat cream cheese w/ mixer until creamy; stir in melted chocolate. Refrigerate until firm.
Shape into 36 balls. Place on wax paper-covered tray.
Melt remaining chocolate. Use fork to dip truffles; return to tray. Decorate, then refrigerate 1 hour. Refrigerate leftovers.

Now, when I made them, I made my balls bigger and got maybe 9 total. So, if you're making these for a lot of people, go for bite sized balls.
And, when I "dipped" them into the melted chocolate, that part didn't work for me. So, I poured the choc. over each ball. I also added sugar to the melted chocolate to make it sweeter.

Have fun!
