Chocolate Cheese Balls
Chocolate Cheese Balls are a really delicious cream cheese dessert that's easy to make. Your friends and family will be impressed when they see these on the table. The flavors of chocolate, strawberry preserves and toasted almonds combine for a flavor explosion in your mouth.
You also get a nice crunchy texture from the vanilla wafer crumbs. We have a hard time making enough of these for our parties.
You can also split this recipe up and make smaller batches with different flavored preserves. We have made them with apricot, raspberry, and blueberry jams.
