How to Make Milk Chocolate Cream Cheese Truffles

Melt 12 ounces of milk chocolate chips in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until completely combined and smooth.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll into balls.
Roll the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes to firm up before dipping.
Melt 6 ounces of your favorite dipping chocolate (dark, milk, or white) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip each truffle in the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place the dipped truffles on another wax paper-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the dipped truffles until the chocolate is set (about 15-20 minutes).
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Makes approximately 24 truffles (size may vary).
