Instructions

Melt chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth. Allow cooling slightly.

Place cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Pour melted chocolate over cream cheese and mix together until very smooth.

Fold in vanilla wafer crumbs being sure to cover all the crumbs with the chocolate mixture.

Refrigerate 3 to 4 hours or until chocolate is firm.

Once firm, shape chocolate mixture into balls.

Roll on the rasperry jam and then roll half the candy balls in the toasted almonds and the other half in the toasted coconut.
