  • Prep the Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, beat 8 oz cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add Powdered Sugar:
    • Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar to the cream cheese, beating until smooth and creamy.
  • Blend in Vanilla & Chocolate:
    • Add 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1 cup melted chocolate (semi-sweet or dark, depending on preference). Beat until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
  • Chill the Mixture:
    • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.
  • Shape the Truffles:
    • After an hour, use a 2-inch cookie scoop to form small, round truffles. Roll between your hands if needed for a smooth, even shape.
  • Decorate the Truffles:
    • Melt colored candy melts or additional chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, coating fully. Place on wax paper to harden.
    • For an extra decorative touch, dip each truffle a second time in chocolate, then immediately add sprinkles or other toppings while still tacky.
  • Final Touches:
    • Let the truffles harden completely before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
