   4       c            Powdered sugar
   8       oz           Cream cheese
   1       ts           Vanilla extract
   5       oz           Unsweetened chocolate
                        Assorted toppings
                        - (cocoa, powdered sugar,

                        - 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.

  cheese mixture along with the vanilla. Mix well. Chill for a couple
  hours. Roll mix into 1" 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.
