Truffles

2 1/2 package (20 squares) Bakers semi-sweet Chocolate, divided
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened

Melt 8 chocolate squares. Beat cream cheese with mixer until creamy; stir in melted chocolate. Refrigerate until firm. Shape into 36 balls. Place on wax paper-covered tray. Melt remaining chocolate. Use fork to dip truffles; return to tray. You can decorate using finely chopped cocktail peanuts or sprinkles.........or coat truffles with powdered sugar or unsweetened cocoa powder instead of dipping in chocolate and then refrigerate 1 hour!

This makes a really nice gift placed in a pretty glass container or tin.......use ribbon to finish the truffles on the container you choose. 3 dozen
