  NOTES: 
   
  *  Easy-to-make candies with chocolate and cream cheese -- Here's a good 
  recipe for lazy chocolate freaks.  They're not as good as the ones you buy 
  in good candy stores, but they're still yummy. 
   
  *  If you're adventurous, try substituting the liqueur of your choice for 
  the vanilla. 
   
  : Difficulty:  easy. 
  : Time:  30 minutes preparation, 2 hours chilling, 20 minutes rolling. 
  : Precision:  measure the ingredients.
