These silky candies resemble truffles and feature a pleasant chocolate-coffee combination.

Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 4 ounces (half-package) softened cream cheese
  • 2 trbsp instant coffee granules
  • 1 tsp water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 pound dark chocolate candy coating (like Wilton's Candymelts)
  • 3 ounces milk chocolate

Preparation:

1. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler.

2. Stir in the vanilla, water, coffee, and cream cheese until well-blended. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill for one hour.

3. Once candy is firm enough to shape, scoop spoonfuls of candy and roll into balls between your palms. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining candy. Place tray in the refrigerator to chill for another hour.

4. Melt candy coating in the microwave or over a double boiler. Dip balls using dipping tools or two forks, and return to foil-lined cookie sheet. Allow to harden, then melt milk chocolate and drizzle decoratively over the candy. Store in the refrigerator.
