These pretty coconut-speckled candies are rolled in grated chocolate, but you could also coat them in finely chopped nuts, chocolate sprinkles or jimmies. Beverly Coyde of Gasport, New York substitutes almond extract for the vanilla and chopped toasted almonds for the contest.

I'm allergic to cream cheese. Is there a substitute I can use?

I'm not usually a fan of cream cheese desserts, but these bonbons were surprisingly delicious. The chocolate coating is perfectly balanced by the tangy cream cheese filling.

These are the best cream cheese bonbons I've ever had! The chocolate is rich and creamy, and the cream cheese filling is smooth and fluffy. I love the way the flavors melt together in your mouth.
