Mocha Truffles
2 pkgs (12 oz. each) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
3 Tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 teaspoons water
1 pound dark chocolate confectionery coating
white confectionery coating, optional
In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt chocolate chips. Add cream cheese, coffee and water; mix well.
Chill until firm enough to shape into 1 inch balls. Place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Chill for 1-2 hours or until firm.
Melt chocolate coating in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Dip balls and place on waxed paper to harden. If desired, melt white coating and drizzle over truffles.
Note: Can be frozen for several months before dipping into chocolate. Thaw in the refrigerator before dipping.
