Chocolate Cream Cheese Truffles

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope that 2012 will bring us all blessings and happiness, good health and good karma. I want to start this year with a recipe for something round and deliciously sweet -for good luck. ΓΌ

It’s a nice variation from the traditional truffles, the addition of cream cheese gives a hint of tang and the ground almonds make it interesting , it’s not as smooth and velvety but just as good as the regular truffles..they’re like mini bites of chocolate cheesecake!

I got the recipe from Kraft (from the same magazine where I got the 4-in-1 cookie dough); I didn’t add the almond-flavored liqueur asked for in the original recipe because I don’t have it, I could have put almond extract instead but my family doesn’t really like it, taste like medicine according to my kids so I just added the ground almonds and added more chocolate- bittersweet chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
