How to Make the Easiest Chocolate Truffles
Peanut Butter Cheesecake Truffles are also perfect to be wrapped and give away as homemade Valentine’s Day gift.
You will need just five simple ingredients for this recipe: cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, chocolate chips for the filling and more chocolate for melting and dipping. I have to admit, they are really messy to make because the cheesecake filling is so smooth and delicate and you have to cover it melted chocolate, but working with chocolate is always a mess. A delicious, sweet mess !!!
Even though you need a little more patience to make everything nice and smooth, every second is worth it!

Ingredients
- 8 oz of cream cheese
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

- Using small ice-cream scoop, scoop the cheesecake mixture on a the parchment paper lined tray. ( try to make the balls small, because they are so rich and you want small bites). Using your hands roll the balls to make them smooth, then place them in the freezer to harden( for 20-30 minutes)

- Line another tray with parchment paper and set aside. Using a fork or a toothpicks dip the cheesecake bites into chocolate to cover them completely and place onto parchment paper. You must work very quickly with the truffles and in small batches (take just 3-4 truffles from the freezer at the time).
