Prep Tips - If the cookie/cream cheese mixture is too hard to combine, pop the bowl in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to soften the cream cheese. Reheating of the melted chocolate chips for 15-20 seconds may be needed halfway through coating the truffles.
Storage Tips - The truffles can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
