                        Sugar, sifted

  Place 1/3 cup morsels in a medium glass bowl,and microwave at high 1 minute
  or until morsels are almost melted, stirring until smooth.  Let cool.

  of a mixer until smooth.  Add 1 (16 oz.) package powdered sugar to cheese
  mixture; beat until well-blended.
  Press mixture into a 6-inch square on heavy-duty plastic wrap, and cover
  with additional plastic wrap.  Chill at least 1 hour.
  Remove top sheet of plastic wrap; cut mixture into 48 squares.  Roll each
  square into a ball, and place on wax paper.  Roll half of balls in cocoa;
  roll remaining balls in 1/4 cup powdered sugar.
  Place 2 tablespoons morsels in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag, and
  microwave at high 1 minute or until morsels are softened.  Knead bag until
  smooth.  Snip a tiny hole in corner of bag; drizzle chocolate over balls
  rolled in cocoa.  Serve at room temperature.

  for up to 1 month. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before serving.
