No-Bake Cheesecake Truffle Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 bag (2 lbs) Sweet Shoppe Cream Cheese Melting Wafers

• ½ cup crushed graham crackers or vanilla sandwich cookies 

• Optional toppings: sprinkles, crushed nuts, or sea salt

• Parchment paper & baking sheet

Instructions:

1. Melt the full 2 lb bag of Sweet Shoppe Cream Cheese Melting Wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.

2. If desired, stir in up to ½ cup of crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs for a little added crunch & flavor.

3. Let the mixture cool slightly (about 3–5 minutes), then scoop into small mounds using a cookie scoop or spoon. Drop each one onto a parchment-lined tray.

4. Place the tray in the fridge or freezer for 5–10 minutes to help them set. These wafers have a softer set, so chilling helps them hold their shape while staying creamy inside.

5. Optional: Drizzle with extra melted wafers or top with crushed nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt for a decorative finish.

Coloring chocolate may sound like an easy task, but there’s much more to candy coloring than simply melting chocolate & adding some food coloring. Once you understand the do’s & don’ts of adding candy coloring, things are smooth sailing! 

If you live in an area with high heat & humidity, it may be affecting your chocolate. We want to give you as much information as we can to you to ensure your chocolate is away from the heat & moisture from the humidity. It's always good to make a note when you initially place your order to keep track of it.
