Chocolate-Mint Cheese Ball

• 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
• 13 cup Splenda sugar substitute
• 14 teaspoon vanilla
• 4 ounces sugar-free peppermint candies
• 14 cup hersey's sugar free chocolate chips or 14 cup other sugar free chocolate, finely chopped

1. In a medium bowl combine the cream cheese, Splenda, vanilla, 3 tablespoons finely crushed candies, and chocolate.
2. Place in a small plastic wrap-lined bowl and chill 4 hours or overnight.
3. Unmold cheese ball and place on a pretty plate.
4. Gently press 1/3 cup coarsely crushed peppermint candies onto the surface.
5. The candies tend to get wet if left in the fridge too long.
6. I would press them onto the surface just before serving.
