Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. FUDGE BON BON CANDY DIRECTIONS:.
  2. Beat Cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add melted chocolate, beating until smooth. Stir in crumbs and preserves. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
  3. Shape mixture into 1 inch balls, and place on wax paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate 1 hour.
  4. Place chocolate candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave at high 3 to 4 minutes, stirring at 1-minute intervals.
  5. Dip each ball into chocolate coating, letting excess coating drip off. Place balls on wax paper-lined baking sheets. Chill about 10 minutes or until coating hardens.
  6. Place vanilla candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave at high 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Spoon coating into a small, heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal. Snip a tiny hole in a one corner of bag, and gently squeeze bag to drizzle coating over balls. Keep balls refrigerated. Yield: 7 dozen bon bon balls.
