Is there anything as tempting as decadent chocolate truffles? We don't think so! Sweeten up your sweetie with these Tempt Me Truffles, and we bet you'll be thanked with some extra-special love!

Makes: 4

Chilling Time: 3 hr

What You'll Need:

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar, plus extra for coating

5 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chopped toasted almonds for coating

Unsweetened cocoa for coating

What To Do:

1. In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cream cheese until creamy; gradually add 4 cups confectioners' sugar, beating well after each addition. Stir in melted chocolate and vanilla. Cover and chill 2 hours, or until mixture is firm.

2. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls; roll some in almonds, some in cocoa, and some in confectioners' sugar. Cover and chill at least 1 hour; serve chilled. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator.

Notes: You can make these chocolate truffles even more special by rolling 'em up in their favorite toppings (nuts, sprinkles, cocoa, coconut), and then wrapping 'em up or placing them in a fancy-looking box. Now, they're even more tempting!
