Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 16 oz of cream cheese with 1 cup of cherry preserves. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gradually add 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated, creating a thick dough, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place on a lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. While the truffles chill, melt 12 oz of dark chocolate chips until smooth, in increments of 30 seconds.
  6. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate and let excess chocolate drip off.
  7. Sprinkle the coated truffles with 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder immediately after coating.
  8. Return the truffles to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 30 minutes until the chocolate coating sets.
