Chocolate Cheese Balls
Chocolate Cheese Balls are a really delicious cream cheese dessert. 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 keeping these on the table at our parties.
