Chocolate Wine Delights

Indulge in these rich Chocolate Wine Delights, perfect for a sweet treat that combines the luxurious flavors of chocolate and wine.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoons red wine

Method

1. Begin by setting a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, allowing semisweet chocolate to melt gently while stirring occasionally until completely smooth. Set aside half a cup for later use.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until it becomes airy and fluffy. Gradually incorporate confectioners' sugar, mixing until the two are well blended. Gently fold in the melted chocolate and your choice of wine, then cover and refrigerate for about an hour until the mixture is firm.
3. Once chilled, take spoonfuls of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about 3/4 inch in diameter. Arrange these balls on a tray lined with wax paper.
4. In the microwave, melt the reserved chocolate until smooth. Use a fork to drizzle this chocolate over the truffles, adding a decorative finish.
