Place the cream cheese in a bowl. You want it to be softened slightly so you are able to easily mix in the chocolate but you don't want it too melty so that you can't form balls with it. Placing it at room temp for a bit before you plan on making these will do the trick.

Melt the 1/3 cup chocolate chips in another bowl. You can do this on the stove top or in the microwave. Stir to make sure there are no large pieces.

Pour the melted chocolate into the cream cheese. Are you drooling yet?

Whip the melted chocolate into the cream cheese. I was able to 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 spoon), drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a cookie sheet that is covered in waxed 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.

Yum, these Simple Chocolate Truffles are such a tasty treat! Store in a covered container in the fridge until you are ready to enjoy. You could add in different flavorings (like orange or raspberry) for a little bit of a different treat or even whip in some peanut butter for chocolate peanut butter truffles!
