    Sometimes, a gal just really wants some chocolatey goodness...without the sugar and carbs.

    And a candy that is quick and easy to make is just the thing to fill that want.

    Or for some of us, that need.

    You chocolate lovers know what I mean.  There's no shame in that.  ♥

    Combining a few ingredients to make a decadent chocolate treat that contains no sugar and is low carb is a key goal in some of our lives!  Here's a quick and easy chocolate truffle recipe that can be easily modified to fit your flavor favorites:


    Chocolate Cream Cheese Truffles

• 16 oz. softened cream cheese (full fat, 1/3-less fat, or nonfat)
• 4 oz. unsweetened melted chocolate, or 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 Tbsp. powdered Truvia / Swerve / erythritol / xylitol (or more/less, to taste; use coffee grinder to powder.  My favorite is Swerve!)
• a few drops of liquid regular or chocolate stevia, to taste, if desired
• 1/16 tsp. salt or a "pinch" of salt (I love using Redmond RealSalt!)
  
• 1 tsp. vanilla (or 1/4 tsp. other flavoring - almond, orange, lemon, etc.)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut and/or finely chopped nuts, if desired

    In food processor or mixer, combine softened cream cheese, unsweetened melted chocolate or unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, liquid chocolate stevia (if desired), salt, and vanilla (or other flavoring) until well blended. Using a small scoop or spoon, divide mixture evenly and roll into balls. Roll balls in desired topping – cocoa, coconut, or chopped nuts.  Place truffles onto wax paper-lined plate or cookie sheet and freeze or refrigerate until firm.

**Note:  1/3-less fat or nonfat cream cheese truffles will need to be stored in the freezer or they will become too soft.
