Step 1: Prepare the Truffle Filling

1. Start by melting your white chocolate chips. You can do this in the microwave by heating them in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, or by using a double boiler to melt them slowly and evenly.
2. Once the white chocolate is melted, let it cool for just a minute, so it doesn’t melt the cream cheese. Then, in a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. It should be thick and a little fluffy.
3. Slowly fold in the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture. Keep stirring gently until everything is well combined. The result should be a smooth, creamy mixture that’s not too runny but still easy to work with.

Step 2: Chill the Mixture

4. At this point, you’ll need to chill the mixture so it firms up enough to roll into truffles. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until it’s firm to the touch.

Step 3: Form the Truffles

5. After the mixture has chilled, it’s time to roll the truffles! Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out about a tablespoon of the chilled mixture. Roll it gently between your hands to form small balls. You can make them as large or small as you like, but keep in mind that bite-sized truffles are usually the best.
6. Place each truffle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once they’re all rolled, pop them back in the fridge for another 30 minutes so they firm up a bit more.

Step 4: Prepare the Blue Coating

7. While your truffles are chilling, it’s time to melt the blue candy melts. You can do this in the microwave or double boiler, just like the white chocolate earlier. Stir until smooth and melted, and let it cool slightly before dipping.

Step 5: Coat the Truffles

8. Once your truffles are fully chilled, it’s time to coat them in that beautiful blue candy melt. Using a fork or a skewer, dip each truffle into the melted candy coating, ensuring that it’s fully covered. Tap off any excess by gently tapping the fork on the side of the bowl.
9. Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet. If you’re feeling extra festive, sprinkle a few holiday sprinkles on top before the candy coating hardens.

Step 6: Let the Coating Set

10. Once all the truffles are coated, let them set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until the candy coating hardens. If you’re in a rush, you can place the truffles in the fridge for about 10 minutes to speed up the process.
