Oh So Yummy!







FOR the insides you'll need:
8 Semi-Sweet chocolate squares
80z package cream cheese


FOR the basic outsides you'll need:
10oz package of chocolate chips of your choice *
1TBL (or a little less) of oil

DIRECTIONS:
Beat the cream cheese until fluffy. (Food processor works for this.) Add the oil to the chocolate squares and melt in the microwave checking/stirring every 30sec or so being careful not to overheat or chocolate will seize. Add the melted chocolate mixture slowly to the cream cheese while beating until thoroughly combined. Place the filling in the refrigerator or freezer (couple minutes) until chilled enough to form balls. Make the balls in the desired size.... we use a small cookie/icecream scoop to get the right amount of filling and then roll into a ball with our hands.
It will be a little bit messy but that's normal. :) Place the finished balls back in the refrigerator while you melt the chocolate/oil for the coating.
Using a plastic fork or a candy dipper, dip the balls into the chocolate and then place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. When done, put back in the refrigerator to harden.
Enjoy!!! :)

*We've used mint chips, semi-sweet, white chocolate etc. for the coating; They all work!
We've also added some orange flavor to our semi-sweet chocolate and it was delicious.
Feel free to get creative and drizzle over the coated truffles a different kind of chocolate or while the chocolate coating is still soft, add some chocolate sprinkles or roll in cocoa powder.
It's a lot of fun to use your imagination!
