Super Simple Chocolate Truffles

1. 1

   Place the cream cheese in a bowl. You want it to be softened slightly so you are able to easily mix in the chocolate, but you don't want it too melty so that you can't form balls with it. Placing it at room temperature for a bit before you plan on making these will do the trick.

2. 2

   Melt the chocolate chips in another bowl. You can do this on the stove top or in the microwave. Stir to make sure there are no large pieces.

3. 3

   Pour the melted chocolate into the cream cheese. Whip the melted chocolate into the cream cheese.

4. 4

   Using a small cookie scoop (or just a spoon), drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a cookie sheet that is covered in waxed paper. Place this pan in the fridge and let the balls chill for a few hours until they are hardened.

5. 5

   Once the truffles are hardened, melt more chocolate chips and dunk the balls until they are coated. If you don't want to use so many chocolate chips, you can skip this step and coat the truffles in cocoa powder instead.

6. 6

   Store in a covered container in the fridge until you are ready to enjoy.
