Christmas Chocolate Truffles
I made some of these simple truffles with my daughter this pas weekend. We had a blast making them and rolled them in cocoa powder, sprinkles, chopped nuts etc. They are pretty and colorful, not to mention very tasty. They’ll make a nice addition to your Christmas cookies and desserts. A small container of these homemade chocolate truffles would also make a wonderful gift. Enjoy!
- 20 Squares Semi-Sweet Chocolate, divided
- 1 pkg. Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
- Peppermint Candies, crushed
- Christmas Colored Sprinkles
- Cocoa powder
- In a small bowl, place eight semi-sweet chocolate squares and melt in the microwave.
- In a mixing bowl, place cream cheese and mix with a hand mixer until creamy in texture.
- Add the melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and refrigerate for a several minutes, or until the mixture is firm.
- Meanwhile, prepare two medium sized cookie sheets by lining with wax paper.
- Remove cream cheese/chocolate mixture from refrigerator and form into small balls, placing them on the wax paper when formed up.
- Next, take the remaining chocolate squares and melt in the microwave.
- When chocolate is melted, using a pair of spoons dip the formed balls into the chocolate and place truffles back on the cookie sheets.
- Top with crushed peppermint and refrigerate for roughly 1 hour before serving.
