When I serve my friends with anything that has chocolate in it, the dish vanishes in seconds. I love them and all, but there are times when you just can’t help but think, “I spent a lot of time doing that and it’s… gone just like that.” These truffles are different though. They’re easy to make. And once the first batch is gone, I can always make another. Yes, friends, bring it on.
One of our friends from Taste of Home has this to say about this recipe:
“Nothing compares to the melt-in-your-mouth flavor of these truffles…or to the simplicity of the recipe. Whenever I make them for my family or friends, they’re quickly devoured. No one has to know how easy they are to prepare!”
No one should know our kitchen secrets, my dear friend. Let them think we’re geniuses! Just kidding. The truth is, I have already shared this treasure to my friends. You can’t really keep a chocolate secret from chocoholics. Believe me, I tried!
Ingredients
2 packages (12 ounces each) Hershey’s semisweet chocolate chips
1 package (8 ounces) Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 teaspoons water
1 pound dark chocolate candy coating, coarsely chopped
White candy coating, optional
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Beat in cream cheese. Dissolve coffee in water; add to cream cheese and beat until smooth.
Chill until firm enough to shape. Shape into 1-in. balls and place on waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Chill for 1-2 hours or until firm.
In a microwave, melt chocolate coating; stir until smooth. Dip balls in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Melt white coating and drizzle over truffles if desired.

Quick Tip: Dark, white or milk chocolate confectionery coating is found in the baking section of most grocery stores. It is sometime labeled “almond bark” or “candy coating” and is often sold in bulk packages (1 to 1-1/2 pounds). It is the product used for dipping chocolate.
Thanks again to Taste Of Home for this amazing recipe.
