Down Home Cooking Recipe #04 - Amazing Truffles

This is a family favorite my grandma use to make them for Christmas every year, now I make them along with 6 other candies for all our friends and family. You can find these truffles in bakeries for .75 a piece. You can make a batch of 50 for less than $4! Whats even better you can change the flavors and coating to suit your needs.

I made 500 brown and pink of these truffles to serve at our dessert buffet at our wedding. They were a HUGE hit! 



What You Need:
1 (8oz) package of softened cream cheese
3c confectioners' sugar
3c chocolate chips (you can use any type: white, caramel, dark, etc.)
1 1/2 tsp flavoring (examples: vanilla, raspberry, orange, mint, etc.)
1/4c sprinkles (you can also use powdered sugar, chopped nuts, or you can dip them in almond bark)


How to Make:

1) In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in confectioners sugar until smooth and blended. 

2) Melt chocolate chips in 30 sec intervals, stirring occasionally until smooth. Mix in with cream cheese and sugar. 

3) At this point you can divide the mixture to make various flavors from one batch. Add flavoring to each batch. Stir until well blended.

4) Refrigerator for an hour. Roll into balls, then roll each ball into sprinkles or any other coating.

Keep Refrigerated
