   4       C            Powdered sugar
                        -(yes, four cups!)

                        -large package or
                        -3 small packages
                        -less a nibble)
   1       T            Vanilla extract
   5       Oz           Unsweetened chocolate
                        Assorted toppings

                        -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.
  
  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.
  
  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.
