Method

In medium bowl blend cream cheese, sugar and chocolate until smooth and stir in cherries. Form into 1" rolls, wrap in waxed paper, and chill at least 2 hours. Cut into 1" pieces and form into balls. Roll balls into chopped pecans and store in refrigerator. Place in paper candy cups to serve.

 

Notes: The truffles are the easiest candy to make that I know, and keep indefinitely in the refrigerator, so they can be made well in advance of the holidays. Delicious and easy to make. What a combination.

 

Number of Servings: 24
