If you are planning on serving this at a party - triple the recipe! This baby is good!! Serve with a plate of Murray's sugar free double-fudge chocolate cookies or Joseph's brownie bites for an impressive dessert. (For non-ops the thin chocolate wafers like these would be fabulous.)
CHOCOLATE MINT CHEESE BALL
Susan Maria's Before & After Help (Powered by Invision Power Board)
One 8-ounce pkg. reduced-fat cream cheese (full fat would be good, too)
1/3 cup Splenda
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons finely crushed sugar-free peppermint candies
1/4 cup finely chopped sugar-free dark chocolate or mini chocolate chips
1/3 cup coarsely chopped sugar-free peppermint candies, reserved
In a medium bowl combine the cream cheese, Splenda, vanilla, finely crushed candies, and chocolate. Place in a small plastic wrap-lined bowl and chill 4 hours or overnight. Unmold cheese ball and place on a pretty plate. Gently press the coarsely chopped candies onto the surface. (The candies tend to get "wet" if left in the fridge too long. I would press the them onto the surface just before serving.)
Makes ten servings, 2 tablespoons each.
