My daughter and I like to make these for showers and special occasions. When we give them for gifts, everybody loves them. They are always the right color and the right amount. Personally, I prefer the white chocolate almond bark.

How to Make Chocolate Truffles

Step-by-Step

Beat cream cheese until smooth.
Gradually add sugar until well blended.
Add melted chocolate and vanilla; mix well.
Refrigerate about 1 hour.
Shape into 1-inch balls and roll into ground walnuts, coconut or cocoa. Store in the refrigerator.
To flavor truffles with liqueurs omit vanilla, divide mixture into thirds, add 1 tablespoon of almond, coffee or orange liqueur to each 1/3 of mixture mix well. Hint I always place in small fluted paper candy cups.
