Place the cream cheese in a bowl. You want it to be softened slightly so you are able to mix in the chocolate easily but you don’t want it too melty so that you can’t form balls with it. Placing it at room temperature for a bit before you make these will do the trick.
Melt the 1/3 cup of chocolate chips in another bowl. You can do this on the stovetop in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Stir to make sure there are no large pieces.
Whip the melted chocolate into the cream cheese. I could easily incorporate it by just using a spoon, but you would also use an electric mixer to make sure all the chocolate is mixed in, and there are no large pieces of plain cream cheese left.
Using a small cookie scoop (or just a tablespoon), drop spoonfuls of the chocolate mixture onto a cookie sheet covered in waxed paper or parchment paper. Place this pan in the fridge and let the balls chill for a few hours until they are hardened.
Once the truffles are hardened, melt more chocolate chips and dunk the balls until they are coated. If you don’t want to use so many chocolate chips, you can skip this step and coat the truffles in cocoa powder instead.
