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?

      @Heatherisle, You have good reason to worry. Ask the doctors to do an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to test for Thiamine B1 deficiency. Thiamine deficiency is frequently found in B12 deficiency. Deficiencies in all the B vitamins are common with malabsorption due to Celiac disease. Thiamine can run out in as little as three days...

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      Just an update on my daughter. She is still in hospital and getting quite depressed about everything. She had a CT scan of head and chest to rule out stroke in view of her symptoms. Thankfully there is no evidence of that so they now want to do an MRI to rule out MS so this is freaking her out and it’s not doing me much good either!!!They’re also going to ...

      celiac disease and braces

      Your concerns are reasonable about the celiac risk aspect, and getting additional medical input is a good idea. Obviously I don't know the extent of your child's misalignment, but please don't think of it as just a cosmetic issue. Braces improve bite alignment and typically provide long term health benefits.

      @Heatherisle, You have good reason to worry.   Ask the doctors to do an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to test for Thiamine B1 deficiency.  Thiamine deficiency is frequently found in B12 deficiency.  Deficiencies in all the B vitamins are common with malabsorption due to Celiac disease.  Thiamine can run out in as little as three days.   Thiamine deficiency symptoms can be mistaken for other diseases such as MS and Guillian-Barre Syndrome.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms include pain in legs and abdominal pain as well as depression and gastrointestinal symptoms. Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B 12 together relieve nerve pain.

Thankfully there is no evidence of that so they now want to do an MRI to rule out MS so this is freaking her out and it’s not doing me much good either!!!They’re also going to do further blood tests to check vitamin levels. My husband and I are trying to reassure her the best we can that hopefully it’s just her body’s reaction to having the Vitamin B medication and it’s affecting her nervous system etc. Think the tingling has subsided but still having some lower back and pelvic pain and some leg pain. Thanks for reading and my apologies if I sound paranoid.
