what size cream cheese – 8oz? About how many cookies does this recipe make? Thanks much!
Yes, Jackie…it’s an 8oz cream cheese. I make a couple of dozen truffles with this recipe.
You had me until almond bark, lol! With a nut allergy in the house those would be off limits – I wonder what else I could use instead?
Tenille, I’ve made them with Baker’s semi-sweet and white chocolate before. I really think you could melt any one of your favorite chocolates and they would be good!
