MOCHA TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
• Melt 24 ounces chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Mix cream cheese, coffee granules, and water into melted chocolate until smooth. Chill chocolate mixture until firm enough to shape, about 30 minutes.
• Shape chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Chill truffles until firm, at least 1 to 2 hours.
• Melt 6 ounces chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes.
• Dip truffles in the melted chocolate mixture and return to the waxed paper. Set aside until firm, at least 30 minutes.

SPLENDA MOCHA TRUFFLES

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl, dissolve instant coffee in water.
• Add cream cheese and blend until light& creamy.
• Add SPLENDA sweetener and blend well.
• In a separate small container, melt chocolate squares in microwave for 2 minutes on medium power or in a double boiler.
• Add to cream cheese mixture and blend well.
• Chill about 1 hour or until firm enough to shape.
• Shape into small drops about 1 inch.
• Place on sheet of wax paper and freeze.
• Prior to removing Truffles from freezer, mix cocoa and 1 Tbsp of instant coffee together, crushing the coffee granules to make a fine powder.
• When ready, remove Truffles& let sit about 5 minutes before coating.
• Hint: This coating is done easier by placing coffee into a ziploc plastic bag and using a rolling pin to crush before adding cocoa.
• Then place Truffles into bag and gently shake to coat.
• Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
