Truffles!

Last week my sister finally explained Pinterest, and I am hooked.

I have always been kinda crafty and I like to sew but lacked inspiration.  In less than two weeks I have completed 5+ projects I found on Pinterest.

Today I'm posting my Truffles.

Candy Cane Peppermint Chocolate Truffles

3 cups Chocolate Chips, melted
1 8oz package Cream Cheese, softened
3 cups Powdered Sugar
2 tsp Peppermint Extract
6 Candy Canes, crushed

Melt the chocolate on low heat.  Add peppermint extract.

Blend cream cheese and suger until smooth.

Stir chocolate into cream cheese/sugar blend.

Place in fridge for about an hour, take out and form balls, roll balls in crushed candy canes.  I crushed mine in my Pampered Chef Chopper and it worked great.

I popped them back in the fridge to have them set.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Truffles

1 cup Chocolate Chips
2 T Peanut Butter
2 T Coconut Oil
2 cups Powdered Sugar

Microwave chocolate, peanut butter and oil until melted.  Mix with powdered sugar.  Pop in the fridge for 1 hour.  Remove and form balls.  Melt some more peanut butter in the microwave and place in a ziploc bag.  Cut bag and drizzle over truffles.

In both recipes I placed the truffles on parchment paper.
