1 8-oz. package nondairy cream cheese, softened at room temperature (try Tofutti brand)
3 cups powdered sugar
12 oz. semisweet chocolate, melted
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Ground nuts, unsweetened cocoa, or toasted flaked coconut



Recipe



Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until well blended. Add the melted chocolate and vanilla and mix well. Refrigerate for about 1 hour.

Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and roll them in the nuts, cocoa, or coconut. Store in the refrigerator.
