TheDancingCook's Note:

I saw this today in the new Family Circle magazine and thought they sounded delicious; a nice addition to the usual holiday cookie/dessert tray. Also posted as request in a thread; this would be great as a bridal party/bridal shower/wedding favor type of gifts. Prep time does not include refrigeration time.

These are great little treats! Super easy to prepare, I melted the chips in the microwave on medium power to save time. I also used low-fat cream cheese. They were delicious and addicting! I kept going back for more!
