Chocolate truffles are so delicious and such a treat, but they're always so expensive to buy. You can easily make them at home for the holidays or any day.
Chocolate Truffles
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 (12 oz.) semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted (melt on low heat in saucepan)
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
colored sprinkles, flaked coconut, powdered sugar, crushed candy canes, etc.
1) Beat cream cheese in large bowl with electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating until well blended.
2) Add melted chocolate and vanilla; mix well. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm.
3) Shape into 1 inch balls. (Easiest to do with your hands, but really messy!) Roll into various toppings, or leave plain. Store in refrigerator.
Makes about 5 dozen candies.
