Servings: 2 dozen

Ingredients: 1/2 cup chocolate chips 4 oz. light cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup cocoa 1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar Extra cocoa or confectioners' sugar, for rolling OR: 3 tbsp. ground almonds

Instructions: 1. Place chocolate chips in a glass bowl and microwave for 1 minute, until almost melted. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly. 2. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add chocolate and beat again until smooth. 3. Add cocoa and 1 cup of confectioners' sugar and stir until well blended. Add remaining confectioners' sugar and stir until you have a soft dough. The mixture will seem dry -- it may be easier to use your hands for final mixing. 4. Put about 1/4 cup cocoa, confectioners' sugar or ground almonds into a shallow dish. Shape chocolate mixture into 1" - 1 1/4" balls and roll in cocoa, confectioners' sugar, or ground almonds to coat. Place on a sheet of waxed paper and refrigerate until chilled. Makes 2 dozen truffles.
