Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball image

Oh wow, this is such a good, sweet appetizer! I just can't think of any better way to put it. You may be tempted to just use your finger for tasting, but we recommend serving with graham crackers.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pkg (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
1/2 c butter, softened (do not use margarine)
3/4 c confectioners' sugar
2-3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c miniature chocolate chips
3/4 c pecans or your favorite nuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In mixer, beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add sugars and vanilla and mix until well-combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Gather cold mixture into a ball and cover with plastic wrap. Chill another hour. Roll ball in pecans just before serving.
  • 2. Usually, I skip the ball stage and serve this as a spread without the pecans. It's great on chocolate, cinnamon and honey graham crackers, vanilla wafers, shortbread or butter cookies.
