I'd like to say I can take credit for the recipe to these little gems, but alas, I can't. I actually spied them in the pages of a woman's magazine several years ago, as part of a holiday advertising spread by Kraft.
I can however take credit for the smiles and looks of pure joy that radiate from the faces of those who have received them from me.
They make a wonderful gift, they look beautiful and they are insanely easy. Of course, you don't have to tell anyone that--and if you don't tell, I won't either;-)
Kraft Chocolate Truffles
2 1/2 packages of semi-sweet chocolate (8 squares per package, for a total of 20 squares)
1 8 oz. package of cream cheese, softened (can use neufchatel if you would like)
Various sprinkles and crushed nuts, crushed candy canes work nicely too
Melt 8 squares of chocolate following directions on package
Mix into bowl with softened cream cheese
Stir with electric mixer until completely blended
Put mixture in refrigerator until firm
Shape into balls
Melt remaining chocolate
Dip truffles into chocolate
Decorate with toppings
Place on wax-paper lined cookie sheet and refrigerate for one hour
Store in refrigerator
It's that simple. It makes about 36 truffles per batch.
You can find fancy fluted candy cups and a variety of boxes and ribbons at any craft store.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY MUNCHING!
