SIMPLE CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Easy-to-make candies with chocolate and creamcheese

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.

4 cups powdered sugar
8 oz cream cheese (one large package or 3 small packages less a nibble)
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 oz unsweetened chocolate

Procedure

Mix the powdered sugar into the softened cream cheese a little at a time, making sure it is well blended after every addition.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and add it to the cream cheese mixture along with the vanilla. Mix well.
Chill for a couple hours. Roll mix into one-inch balls, then roll them in a topping. Chill.

Notes

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