chan@hpfcla.UUCP (12/15/85)

Here's a good recipe for chocolate freaks. They're not as good as the ones
you buy in good candy stores, but they're still yummy.

		Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients:
	4 cups (!) powdered sugar
	1 8 oz. or 3 3 oz. package(s) of Philly cream cheese (softened)
	1 tsp. vanilla extract
	5 oz. unsweetened chocolate
	Toppings (cocoa, powdered sugar, crushed nuts, jimmies, etc.)

Steps:
	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.

	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.

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

As usual, HP has nothing to do with what I say here.
