Easy Chocolate Truffle

1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1-1/2 pkg. (12 squares) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
suggested coatings, such as ground PLANTERS Walnuts, unsweetened cocoa, powdered sugar and/or BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut

BEAT cream cheese in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add sugar, mixing until well blended.

ADD melted chocolate and vanilla; mix well. Refrigerate 1 hour or until chilled.

SHAPE into 1-inch balls. Roll in walnuts, cocoa, powdered sugar or coconut. Store in refrigerator.

1.When covering them in chocolate, do it double burner style and melt the chocolate on the stove. It works well, you don't burn it and you can always throw a few more in.
2. White chocolate MUST be melted in the microwave. 1 min. or 30 sec. then stir. Repeat. It's made differently so it behaves differently.
3. Mark them with something on the outside (likes crumbs on top) so you know which are which.
4. You can make them multiple at a time. Get a few people together and each person take a part. We did all or ours in about 3 hours or so.
5. Make the balls SOOO much smaller than you are naturally inclined. If they are small they are bite size and easier to eat.

We also did choc. covered pretzels. We used the small sticks and the put sprinkles on the warm choc.
