Published: Cooking Light- 12/01/98

INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup semisweet mint-chocolate chips
4 ounces 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened (about 1/2 cup)
1 (16-ounce) package powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 tablespoons semisweet mint-chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

Place 1/3 cup chips in a glass bowl. Microwave at 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 1 (16-ounce) package powdered sugar to cheese mixture; beat until well-blended.

Press mixture into a 6-inch square on plastic wrap; 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; place on wax paper. Roll half of balls in cocoa; roll remaining balls in 1/4 cup powdered sugar.

Place 2 tablespoons chips in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; microwave at high 1 minute or until soft. Knead bag until smooth. Snip a tiny hole in corner of bag; drizzle chocolate over balls rolled in cocoa. Serve at room temperature.
