1. Melt 3 oz of the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 15-second intervals and stirring between each interval until smooth.
2. While chocolate melts, stir cream cheese in a bowl to soften.
3. Mix melted chocolate into the cream cheese until fully combined.
4. Place mixture in the freezer for about 30 minutes, until it reaches a soft, clay-like texture.
5. Roll mixture into balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
6. Freeze truffle balls until firm.
7. Melt the remaining 3 oz chocolate.
8. Dip truffle balls into melted chocolate, coating completely.
9. Return to freezer until chocolate is set.

Kid-Friendly Tips

• Kids can stir the cream cheese and roll the truffles
• Adults should handle microwave melting
• Use a small scoop for even-sized balls
• Let kids decorate with sprinkles before chocolate sets

Variation Ideas

• Roll centers in cocoa powder instead of dipping
• Use white chocolate for coating
• Add a drop of vanilla or peppermint extract

Notes

If the mixture becomes too soft while rolling, return it to the freezer for a few minutes. Store truffles refrigerated until serving.
