                       -large package or
                       -3 small packages
                       -less a nibble)
  1       t            Vanilla extract
  5       oz           Unsweetened chocolate
                       Assorted toppings

                       -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.

 *  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.
