Mocha Truffles

I've had this recipe for over a decade. I think it is a clipping out of Taste of Home Magazine

Ingredients:

• 2 - 12 oz pkg semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 - 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
• 3 tbl instant coffee granules
• 2 tsp water
• 1 pd dark chocolate confectionery coating

In a microwave safe bowl melt chocolate chips. add cream cheese, coffee and water; mix well. Chill until firm enough to shape (5-10 minutes). Shape into 1 inch balls and place on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet. Chill for 1-2 hours or until firm. Melt chocolate coating in microwave as per package directions. dip balls and place on waxed paper to harden.

If desired melt white chocolate coating and drizzle over truffles.

*truffles can be frozen for several months before dipping in chocolate. Thaw in the refrigerator before dipping.
