Ingredients: 

1 cup semisweet (milk) chocolate chips
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
15 vanilla wafers with creme, crushed
1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
Finely chopped toasted almonds
Toasted coconut

How to make Chocolate Raspberry Tree Ornaments

Melt chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth.

Allow to cool 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 half the candy balls in the toasted almonds and the other half in the toasted coconut.

Store in the refrigerator to keep them from becoming too soft.

Wrap in foil and hang from the tree (they won’t last very long), as they are rather delicious.
