Food Friday

Whew - busy Friday but here is our recipe for today! This is a recipe I use alot for showers and luncheons. This "Cheese Ball" tastes a whole lot like chocolate chip cookie dough which I happen to well, LOVE!

Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball

8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup pecans or walnuts, finely chopped
graham cracker sticks

Blend cream cheese, butter and vanilla in a mixing bowl until fluffy. Gradually add sugars; beat just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Place on a large piece of plastic wrap; shape into a ball. Refrigerate for at least one additional hour.
At serving time, roll ball in chopped nuts. Serve with graham cracker sticks for dipping. Makes about 2 cups.
Enjoy!
