Step 1

In a medium bowl, beat first 5 ingredients until smooth; cover. Freeze 2 hours.

Shape cream cheese mixture into 1" balls and place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet; cover and freeze one hour. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes. In a 1-quart microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate candy coating on high power (100%) 1 1/2 minutes or until coating melts, stirrring twice.

Dip balls into chocolate coating; place on waxed paper. Let stand until coating is firm. Place white coating in a ziploc bag. Seal and submerge coating in warm water until melted. Snip a tiny hole in one corner of bag and drizzle coating over chocolates, if desired.
