Cincinnati Opera Cream Candies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup butter
3 lbs confectioners' sugar (or more)
3 teaspoons vanilla
milk chocolate or dark chocolate

Preparation

Blend cream cheese, butter and vanilla. Add sugar, one pound at a time. Mix with spoon until it's the consistency that you can roll into a ball. If still oily, you may want to add more sugar.
Put balls on wax paper; spoon melted chocolate over it, or you can set the balls in small paper candy wrappers and spoon chocolate over them. Refrigerate.
Balls can be rolled one day, refrigerated, and then spoon chocolate over them the next day.
