Strawberry Fudge Truffles
6 oz. package semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cup almonds, toasted and finely chopped
8 oz. cream cheese (at room temperature)
3/4 cup vanilla wafers crumbs (approximately 20 wafers)
1/4 cup Strawberry Preserves
In a small saucepan, melt chocolate over low heat. Put almonds
in a small bowl. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese
until smooth and creamy. Add melted chocolate, beating until smooth.

chill truffles until serving time.
