TRUFFLES: 250g cream cheese, softened, 2packs choc biscuits (timtams, sqiggles, mint creams, choc wheateans etc), crushed. Combine. I like to dip mine in melted chocolate. They freeze well without going hard - good for Easter weekend coming up! ...

make a dip and eat with some kind of toasted bread

CC is lovely on toast, rather than marg or butter. Then spread your vegemite over it. Or sliced tomatoes, anything savoury really. Don't waste it, it's too damned expensive :-) :-)
