Chocolate Fudge Meltaways Recipes

Does it get any better than little bite size, hand held, puddles of chocolate cream cheese fudge that melt in your mouth? All that is needed to make these wondrous confections is a bowl, a mixer, and a few minutes of your time, which makes it the perfect recipe when Christmas is coming at you like a freight train.

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temp
3 tablespoons butter, at room temp
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon milk
6-7 cups confectioner’s sugar, plus an additional ¼ cup for dipping

Instructions

• Place cream cheese and butter in large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, 1-2 minutes. Add ½ cup cocoa powder, vanilla, lemon juice, and milk and beat again until well combined.
• Add 6-7 cups confectioner’s sugar, one cup at a time, beating well and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each additional. Keep adding sugar until dough is sticky and thick like cookie dough. Will likely use at least 6 cups but may not need the whole 7.
• Stir together remaining 2 tablespoons cocoa powder with ¼ cup confectioner’s sugar in a small bowl until no lumps remain. Pinch dough off and form into one inch balls before rolling in cocoa powder/sugar mixture.
