Lazy Man's Truffles

For all of you who love chocolate as much as I do, here is a quick and easy recipe for a wonderful chocolate treat. Three ingredients, super easy to make.

Last week I decided I really wanted some chocolate. And as we don't keep candy in the house, I decided to try to make something. And I got the idea of mixing cream cheese and melted chocolate chips. And... Wonderful!

Slowly melt about half a bag of chocolate chips on the stove, and mix them with about half a package of cream cheese. Then spoon drop the mix in little dollops onto wax paper on a cookie sheet and chill it in the fridge overnight.

They are great just like that, but for an extra "truffle-like" addition, form the chilled dollops into balls and roll them in unsweetened bakers cocoa. Keep chilled.

Both Jim and I enjoy these; they don't last long in our house.
