Buttercreams Candy recipe

1/2 c. butter
1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 ts. vanilla (or substitute with another flavor)
4 c. icing sugar

Coating instructions:
2 c. chocolate chips
2 Tb. shortening

In large bowl, combine butter and cream cheese.
Beat at medium speed, scraping the bowl often, until smooth (1-2 minutes).
Add vanilla and continue beating until well mixed.
Reduce speed to low and gradually add icing sugar until well mixed (4-5 minutes).
If mixture is too soft, cover and put in fridge 1 hour or until firm enough to form balls.
Shape rounded teaspoonfuls into 1 inch balls.

Cover loosely; put in fridge for 2 hours or overnight.
Melt chocolate chips and shortening in sauce pan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
Dip buttercreams into chocolate using toothpicks, letting excess chocolate drip off.
