Baker's One Bowl Chocolate Truffles

Yield: about 6 dozen or 18 servings, four truffles each

Ingredients

Truffles

1 package (8 squares) Baker's Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate
4 ounces (1/2 of 8 ounce package) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) tub Cool Whip or Cool Whip French Vanilla Whipped Topping, thawed

Suggested coatings

Powdered sugar
Finely chopped Planters Pecans, toasted
Baker's Angel Flake Coconut, grated
Baker's Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate unsweetened cocoa powder
Colored sprinkles

Instructions

Microwave chocolate in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH for 2 minutes or until chocolate is almost melted.
Stir with wire whisk until chocolate is completely melted.
Add cream cheese; stir until cream cheese is completely melted and mixture is well blended.
Cool to room temperature.
Gently stir in whipped topping. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until mixture is firm enough to handle.
Scoop chocolate mixture into 1 inch balls with melon baller; place on waxed paper-covered baking sheets. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Roll in suggested coatings, working with a few truffles at a time. (Truffles do not need to be perfectly round and smooth - slightly rough appearance is considered typical.)
Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.

Notes

Size-Wise: Chocolate truffles are rolled in a variety of coatings for a sweet treat that is perfect for gift-giving or for serving on a special occasion.

Make it Easy: Roll scooped truffle mixture into 1-inch balls while coating with the toppings.

Truffle mixture softens quickly, so when rolling, only remove about 1 dozen truffles from refrigerator at a time. If truffles soften too much to roll, return to refrigerator until firm.
