I was looking for a desserty cheeseball recipe to take to a friend party and found this recipe on Allrecipes. It was a huge hit and I'm pretty sure I could've eaten the whole thing myself! You can use graham crackers, teddy grahams, nilla wafers...pretty much any sweet crackery/cookie to dip with.
* Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball *
(worst picture EVER! I didn't have my camera so I tried to quickly snap a picture with my phone...don't judge it by the picture)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup toffee bits (this is not in the original recipe but I thought it sounded good)
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
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.
Shape chilled cream cheese mixture into a ball. Wrap with plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Roll the cheese ball in finely chopped pecans or toffee bits before serving.
