8 oz Cream cheese (one
-large package or

-less a nibble)
1 t Vanilla extract
5 oz Unsweetened chocolate
Assorted toppings

-crushed nuts, jimmies,
-etc.)

Mix the powdered sugar into the softened cream cheese a little (2/3 cup) at
a time, making sure it is well blended after every addition.

mix into one inch balls, then roll them in a topping. Chill.

NOTES:

* Easy-to-make candies with chocolate and cream cheese -- Here's a good
recipe for lazy chocolate freaks. They're not as good as the ones you buy
in good candy stores, but they're still yummy.

* If you're adventurous, try substituting the liqueur of your choice for
the vanilla.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 30 minutes preparation, 2 hours chilling, 20 minutes rolling.
: Precision: measure the ingredients.
