A friend passed along this recipe about nine years ago. It has since been a family favorite. Think cheese ball but for dessert.
Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball
Ingredients
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans For those with nut allergies don't despair-just roll cheese ball in more mini chocolate chips.
Graham crackers (we prefer the chocolate grahams for this)
Directions
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until fluffy. Gradually add sugars; beat just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Place cream cheese mixture on a large piece of plastic wrap; shape into a ball. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Just before serving, roll cheese ball in pecans. Serve with graham crackers. Yield: 1 cheese ball (about 2 cups). Originally from Taste of Home Magazine
