Ingredients
1/3 cup semisweet mint-chocolate morsels
4 oz neufchatel cheese, softened
16 oz powdered sugar, (1 package) sifted
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 tablespoon semisweet mint-chocolate morsels
Cooking Directions:
Place 1/3 cup morsels in a medium glass bowl, and microwave at HIGH 1 minute or until morsels are almost melted, stirring until smooth. Let cool.
Add the cheese to melted morsels, and beat at medium speed of a mixer until smooth.
Add 1 (16-ounce) package powdered sugar to cheese mixture; beat until well-blended.
Press mixture into a 6-inch square on heavy-duty plastic wrap, and cover with additional plastic wrap. Chill at least 1 hour. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap; cut mixture into 48 squares. Roll each square into a ball, and place on wax paper. Roll half of balls in cocoa; roll remaining balls in 1/4 cup powdered sugar.
Place 2 tablespoons morsels in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag, and microwave at HIGH 1 minute or until morsels are softened. Knead bag until smooth. Snip a tiny hole in corner of bag; drizzle chocolate over balls rolled in cocoa. Yield: 4 dozen (serving size: 1 piece).
