Ingredients
  

  • 1 package cream cheese, softened (8oz)
  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 3 large squares "almond bark" chocolate blocks
  • 3 large squares "almond bark" white chocolate

Optional coatings:

  • Ground walnuts, cocoa powder, flaked coconut, sprinkles, etc.

Instructions
 

  • ln a large bowl, beat cheese until smooth. Gradually beat sugar into cheese until well blended.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, microwave chocolate chips on high for 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. Stir melted chocolate morsels into cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
  • Once firmed up, roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on cookie sheet. Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes until hard.
  • ln microwaveable bowl, heat chocolate and vanilla almond bark together in the microwave for 60 seconds. Stir, heat another 20 seconds more and stir again. Make sure chocolate has completely melted and is smooth. Using a fork, dip each ball into melted chocolate to cover, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off. Roll each ball into coating of your choice, or leave with just chocolate. Place on wax paper lined cookie sheet to set. Place in sealed plastic container and refrigerate. Makes about 3 dozen truffles. Enjoy!
