White Chocolate Peppermint Truffles

• 1/2 cup chopped white chocolate
• 4 oz. light cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups icing sugar
• 4-6 candy canes, crushed finely but not to powder (bashed in ziplock bag with hammer)

Place chocolate in a glass bowl and microwave 1 minute, until almost melted. Stir to melt remaining chocolate bits and set aside to cool slightly.

Beat cream cheese until smooth, and add melted chocolate and beat again until smooth.

Add 1 cup icing sugar and stir until well blended. Add the remaining icing sugar and stir until you have a soft dough.

Pour crushed candy canes into shallow bowl.

Shape the chocolate mixture into 1″ balls and roll in the crushed candy canes to coat. Place on a sheet of waxed paper and refrigerate until firm.

Makes approximately 2 dozen truffles
