Ingredients
- 8 ounces softened Cream Cheese
- 8 ounces Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1/3 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/4 cup Confectioner's Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- For the Toppings:
- Sprinkles

Directions
-
In a large bowl whip the cream cheese until fluffy.
-
Melt half of the chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler.
-
Stir into the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until fully incorporated.
-
Divide the mixture into two bowls and stir peanut butter into one mixture.
-
Mix in peanut butter until well combined. Alternatively, you can omit peanut butter or flavor the entire mixture.
-
Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
-
Using a small ice cream scoop or spoons, portion out truffles and place on wax paper. If mixture becomes too warm return to the fridge and chill before dipping.
-
Take note of which truffles may be flavored with peanut butter.
-
Melt the remaining chocolate and begin dipping the truffles, allowing excess chocolate to drip off and return to the wax paper.
-
Working with your toppings of choice, decorate each truffle immediately after returning to wax paper.
-
Allow chocolate to set before serving. Truffles can be made a few days in advance and stored in an air tight container in the fridge.
