Directions: |
Directions:Place ⅓ c. chips in a glass bowl and microwave on high 1 minute, or until almost melted; stir until smooth. Cool.
Add cheese to melted chips; beat at medium speed of a mixer until smooth. Add the 16 oz. of powdered sugar; beat until well blended. Press mixture into a 6-in. square on plastic wrap; cover with additional plastic wrap. Chill at least 1 hr. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap; cut mixture into 48 squares. Roll each square into a ball. Set aside. Roll half of the balls in cocoa; roll remaining balls in powdered sugar. (I usually roll all in cocoa.)
Place the 2 Tbsp. of chips in a heavy duty zip-top plastic bag; microwave on high 1 minute or until soft. Knead bag with your fingers until smooth. Snip a tiny hole in a corner of bag and drizzle chocolate over balls rolled in cocoa and/or powdered sugar. Serve at room temperature. |

Notes: When pressing the mixture into a square, I use a small baking dish lined with plastic wrap.
For several years, Hershey's produced raspberry-chocolate chips; those were my favorite to substitute for the mint!
