Truffles anyone? SF Recipe

I got this recipe from the PA Forum and those who've had them, said they are very yummy, so thought I'd share this recipe with you all, I'm going to try my hand at them this weekend.

Ingredients:

8 ounces cream cheese (light, non-fat or reg, don't use whipped as it does not work with recipe), room temp
8 ounces SF Chocolate Chips

Beat cream cheese till light and fluffy
Melt Chocolate Chips

Blend together until well combined (a hand held mixer for this part as well as beating the cream cheese originally makes it easier)

Place in fridge until set, at least 30 minutes, found it better to handle when it sat in there for a few hours.

Roll mixture into bite size balls.

Roll into topping of choice....

Some suggestions: crushed peanuts, flaked coconut, a mixture of cocoa powder and splenda put in the foodprocessor. Other ideas would be to roll them in more melted chocolate (would freeze or at least re chill the balls before doing this), sf pudding powder...or whatever creatively comes to mind.

Put back in fridge and chill until serving time.

**Note: As you work with them, the mixture does become warm and soft...so be prepared to have chocolately hands, work quickly, or work in small batches. The outside does need to get a little soft so the toppings stick depending on your choice.**

Enjoy! Laureen

Your timing could not be better, they are on my list of things to make with my granddaughter on Saturday. I have never made them before, since they are made with cream cheese I am assuming they need tobe refridgerated after making??

I think it's a safe assumption, of course, unless you want to create a situation for a little gastro-discomfort ;)

Laureen, thanks so much for this great sounding recipe. I have wanted to make them and didn't know how. If I am ambitious I might make some for Ella for Christmas. She loves truffles as much as I do.

So happy I could pass along something that will be enjoyed by you and yours, not to mention the fact that I LOVE truffles, so I can't wait to try them . . . and it just so happens I ordered a bunch of stuff back in late October that included cocoa powder and sf chocolate chips in anticipation of the winter/holiday season and wanting to experiment in the kitchen with recipes that mean I don't have to feel left out ;)

Again, enjoy! Laureen

Sounds like a winner to me, Laureen,

I've been looking for the s/f choc chips and, so far, haven't found them in the stores. I'll have to order on-line and make these. I'm saving the recipe so let us know how they turn out, ok?

Thanks for sharing,

Kathi

I ordered them through CarbSmart.com and I will definitely let you know how they come out, unless someone else beats me to it ;)

Take care Kathi!

Hugs, Laureen
