Directions:
Combine butter and cream cheese in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth (1 to 2 minutes). Add vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low. Beat, gradually adding powdered sugar, until well mixed (4 to 5 minutes). If mixture is too soft, cover and refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to form balls. Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Cover loosely; refrigerate until firm (2 hours or overnight). Melt chocolate chips and shortening in 1 quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth (3 to 4 minutes). Using a spoon, dip buttercreams into chocolate mixture; let excess chocolate drip off. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to set. Makes 5 dozen.
** Substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons almond, orange or rum extract
