Mocha truffles

Who says gold boxes of $15 truffles are the only way to go this holiday season?

What you will need:
8 oz Neufchatel or Cream Cheese
1 bag Milk chocolate chips (I use Ghirardelli)
1 bag Semisweet Chocolate chips
4 tablespoons instant coffee
sprinkles or nuts or Chocolate covered espresso beans to top

In a double boiler melt 8 Oz of Milk Chocolate (about 2/3rds of a bag). In a separate bowl whip cream cheese with instant coffee until it is fully dissolved and well whipped. Pour melted chocolate into cream cheese mixture and mix well. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Roll mixture into 1/2 inch balls

Melt remaining chocolate in double boiler. Coat each ball in chocolate, and top with Sprinkles or Chocolate covered espresso beans. Allow to set. Keep stored in refrigerator.
