Easy Chocolate Truffles

I thought I'd post this recipe for chocolate truffles..........I made them for teacher gifts this year, and they turned out great. They are really easy to make, the only somewhat time consuming part is rolling and coating them. But they are delicious, and worth it if you are a chocolate lover!

Easy Chocolate Truffles(from Kraftfoods.com)

1 pkg. Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened

3 cups powdered sugar

1-1/2 pkg. (12 squares) Baker's Semi-sweet Baking chocolate, melted

1-1/2 tsp. vanilla

Suggested coatings: such as ground walnuts or almonds, unsweetened cocoa, powdered sugar and/or coconut flakes.

1. Beat cream cheese in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until well blended.

2. Add melted chocoalte and vanilla, mix well. Refrigerate 1 hour or until well chilled.

3. Shape into 1 inch balls, roll in walnuts, cocoa, powdered sugar or cocunut. Store in refrigerator.

4. Put the truffles in fluted candy cups for presentation

*You can also omit the vanilla, divide the recipe into thirds, and add a Tbsp. of liquor to each third. We divided the mix in half and did one half with peppermint extract instead, and rolled the truffle in peppermint dust and powdered sugar. These are fun to play around with flavors and coatings to come up with your favorites. Enjoy!

Does any one know what powdered sugar is called in Australia? I don't think I have ever seen it here, so I am assuming it called something different here?

I'm not from Australia but I have heard powdered sugar called both icing sugar and 10X sugar. Do those sound familiar?

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
