These pretty coconut-speckled candies are rolled in grated chocolate, but you could also coat them in finely chopped nuts, chocolate sprinkles or jimmies. Beverly Coyde of Gasport, New York substitutes almond extract for the vanilla and chopped toasted almonds for the contest. Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese |
sugar substitute equivalent to 1/3 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup flaked coconut |
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, grated |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar substitute, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in coconut. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
2. Shape into 1-in. balls; roll in grated chocolate. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
