Mix together: 1 pkg cream cheese 3 cups confectionery (powdered) sugar Add in 1 1/2 cups melted chocolate (18 oz?) Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla Stir until the spoon is about to snap, even if its metal. Then, Roll the confection into balls (1 inch diameter?) Put the balls on a waxed paper surface until they are all rolled. One by one, Roll the confection balls in a bowl of chopped nuts til the outside is covered. Place finished product in a wax-paper lined sort of Tupperware container. Refrigerate After Making!!! (very important) * * * To Eat, you Must do the following: 1. Pour yourself 1 glass of Cabernet Sauvignon red wine first. Or the Heartiest Red in your rack. 2. Take one truffle & bite half of it. 3. Sip the wine while you are chewing. 4. [Most Important] Look up to the ceiling and yell ‘Damn You, _You Bastard!_ _I Hate You!!!_’ when you are done. (…the endorphins you release will intensify the effect. And its OK to hate me. An Awful lot o’ people already do. I can stand a few more. Happy Holidays!) ---

Most of the cream cheese here comes in 12 oz pkgs. Oh, gosh, I forgot. You _could_ also add a shot or two of your favorite hard liquor into the mix while stirring. But be very careful. The taste of the alcohol gets lost in the truffle & you could get drunk fairly easily. This could lead to dancing… ---

I suspect the hatin’ part will be saved until I next step on the scale, however. 😛 ---

1 cup of chocolate chips = 6 oz. So 1 1/2 cups is 9 oz. I’m talking the chips, prior to melting. Made some truffles this weekend myself! Not the same as your recipe though. I used Amaretto in mine. ---

I used Amaretto in mine. They’re probably amazing! You just can’t can’t curse me out for them though. Well, technically you _could_… (how would I know? 😉 )
