Happy Valentines Day - chocolate!

So I decided to make some homemade chocolate truffles for valentines day.  It was a little bit different recipe than I have used before but still quite delicious.  It does take a bit of time as the chocolate has to be melted and then after mixed in chilled for 2 hours and then rolled.  But I think you will find it rewarding, trust me!


Recipe
8 oz of cream cheese
4 c. powdered sugar
5 oz of unsweetened baking chocolate, melted with double boiler
1 t of high quality vanilla extract (if not use 2 t)
1 c pecan chopped finely (I used the processor, this is for rolling)
1/2 cocoa powder (for rolling)
(you can also use other items to roll the truffles in like powdered sugar)


In mixer add cream cheese and slowly add sugar so that it mixes well.  Then add melted chocolate and vanilla and mix well.  Chill for 2 hours and then shape into balls and roll away.  Package them up nice and they will be very popular.
