Chocolate Raspberry Truffles

Ingredients

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
3/4 cup vanilla wafers, crushed
1/4 cup raspberry jam (or flavour of your choice)

Coatings:

toasted, finely chopped slivered almonds
unsweetened cocoa

Instructions
In a medium sized bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth.

Place the chocolate chips in a small microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove. The chips may hold their form, but the will be soft. Stir well.

Blend the melted chocolate in with the cream cheese.

Stir the crushed wafers and preserves into the cream cheese and chocolate.

Cover the bowl and chill for 1 hour.

Shape the mixture into 1 inch balls and roll in one of the coatings or some of each.
