Mocha Truffles
Friends have begged me for this recipe! It's a great addition to a dessert table or a last course at an elaborate dinner party. 2 (12-oz) packages semisweet chocolate chips 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened 3 Tbsp instant coffee granules 2 tsp water 1 lb dark chocolate candy coating, coarsely chopped White candy coating 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 into 1-inch balls. Place onto wax paper-lined baking sheets. Chill until firm, 1-2 hours. Melt chocolate coating. Stir until smooth. Dip balls in chocolate. Allow excess to drip off. Place on wax paper. Let stand until set. If desired, melt white coating and drizzle over truffles. Yields: 5.5 dozen
