Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Ball
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened (I would use less butter this time, it is only to make everything stick together, I think you could get away with 1/2 a stick)
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans (my mom and brother are allergic to nuts so I left these off)
1. In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in confectioners' sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
2. Shape chilled cream cheese mixture into a ball. (I used a small round Gladware container at the end of step one and really skippped this step).
Wrap with plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
3. Roll the cheese ball in finely chopped pecans before serving. (Since my mom and bro. are allergic we left these off and just dumped the round mixture onto a serving dish).
4. Serve with graham crackers.
