So good, you can't eat just one!

Ingredients

• 1 pkg (8 0z) cream cheese softened
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips, melted and cooled
• 3/4 cup crushed vanilla wafers (about 25 wafers)
• 1/4 cup strawberry preserves
• 15 oz milk chocolate candy coating, melted
• 2 oz white baking chocolate

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in melted chocolate chips. Stir in wafer crumbs and preserves. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.

Divide mixture in half. Return one portion to refrigerator. Shape remaining mixture into 1 inch balls. Place on a waxed paper lined pan; refrigerate. Repeat with remaining mixture.

In a microwave, melt milk chocolate chips at 70% power for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10 to 20 second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip balls in coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on a waxed paper lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until set.

Microwave and melt white chocolate at 70% power for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10 to 20 second intervals, stirring until smooth. Transfer to a heavy duty resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in corner of bag. Decorate candies with a drizzle of white chocolate.
