I just saw this recipe and haven't had a chance to try it yet but it sounded too good not to share.

Chocolate Truffles
Reduced-fat cream cheese makes these decadent truffles smooth, creamy and low-fat.

1 1/2 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 oz Neufchatel cream cheese, room temperature
1/8 tsp orange extract
2/3 cup Splenda or powdered sugar
4 tbsp Dutch-process cocoa powder
3 tbsp powdered sugar

Place chocolate in a small container and microwave for 1 minute on medium power. Stir until smooth. Set aside. In a small bowl, stir cream cheese with a wooden spoon until creamy. Add melted chocolate, orange extract and Splenda or powdered sugar. Stir. Sift in 2 tbsp cocoa powder and the powdered sugar, and stir until creamy. (Mixture will be very stiff.) Cover and place in refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls (about 1 tbsp each). Roll truffles in remaining 2 tbsp of cocoa powder. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Makes 12 servings.
