Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball

Author: Eighteen25

Recipe type: Dessert

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package of regular cream cheese, softened
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
graham cracker sticks, cookies, apples for dipping

Instructions

Beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in confectioners sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Then stir in half (1/2 cup) of chocolate chips and all of the nuts. Cover and chill in the fridge for about 2 hours.
Then shape the cream cheese mixture into a ball shape and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for another hour.
Roll the chilled cheese ball in the remaining ½ cup of chocolate chips and serve with your graham crackers and cookies.

Dig right in. It’s like a yummy cheesecake shaped into a ball. We serve ours with some graham cracker sticks and a few different types of cookies. I think it would also be delicious with apples! In all honesty… all I really need is a spoon, but that may not be the best idea if you’re serving it for a get-together. 🙂
