Crispy Mexican Truffles

Crispy Mexican truffles
-Shelly Bevington-Fisher

Ingredients:
6 ounces cream cheese softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled*
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup crushed cornflakes
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

* I couldn't find any bittersweet chocolate in the store so I used semi-sweet chocolate.

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, chocolate and vanilla extract. Cover and refrigerate for one hour or until easy to handle.

2. In a small bowl combine the cornflakes, cinnamon and cayenne. Shape chocolate mixture into 1-in. Balls; roll in cornflake mixture. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.


This was a delicious treat, a bit too rich, if I had found bitter-sweet chocolate I believe it would have been better. But my family all said it was really good, so I consider this appetizer a success!
