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?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
