Ingredients

17 servings

1 x 8 ozCream Cheese

I used the 1/3 fat variety, Make sure it has softened at room temperature

1 cupGraham cracker crumbs

1 teaspoonvanilla extract

⅓ cuppowdered sugar

¼ cupchopped pecans

1 x 8 ozSemiSweet Chocolate Squares

or candy melts if you prefer

¼ cupCaramel Sauce

or melted caramels

Instructions

Step 1

The first step is to mix your room temperature Cream Cheese, Vanilla, Powdered sugar and Graham Cracker Crumbs all together in bowl.

Step 2

Next form the mixture into bite-sized balls. This recipe should make 15-17 Truffles. Place them on a piece of wax paper and freeze the balls for 10-15 minutes to let them harden up a bit.

Step 3

While the cheesecake balls are freezing melt your chocolate and chop up your pecans! Then you will be ready for dipping!

Step 4

Using two forks, dip each cheesecake ball into the chocolate and then back onto the wax paper. Immediately top with a few chopped pecans. Continue until all of the delicious little morsels have been dipped and topped! If there is leftover chocolate…it is perfectly ok to lick both the bowl and the two forks at this point!

Step 5

Now take a fork and drizzle the top of each truffle with your caramel sauce! It will be drippy, sticky and gooey and fabulous!

Step 6

Now place the finished tray of Truffles (minus 1 that you might have eaten for quality control) back in the fridge for at least an hour to harden up and then serve whenever you would like!
