CHOCOLATE CHIP CHEESE BALL
· 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 finely chopped pecans
DIRECTIONS
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. Wrap with plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
3. Roll the cheese ball in finely chopped pecans before serving. But it can be hard to form a ball so I skipped the nuts and just put the mixture in a bowl. (I think it's better that way!)
