_Kraft Kitchens Tips_
*Variation:*
Instead of rolling these easy-to-make truffles in the powdered sugar, coat them with one or more of the following coatings: unsweetened cocoa powder, chopped PLANTERS COCKTAIL Peanuts, multi-colored sprinkles or BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut. Wrap and give as gifts or serve at your next special occasion.

*Easy Truffle Squares*
Line 8-inch square pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Prepare truffle mixture as directed. Spread into pan. Refrigerate 1 hour. Use foil handles to remove truffle mixture from pan; cut into 1-inch squares. Press squares in suggested coatings, turning to evenly coat all sides of each square. Makes 16 servings, 4 squares each.

*Substitute*
Prepare using COOL WHIP Extra Creamy Whipped Topping.
