This chocolate chip cheese ball is a sweet switch from traditional cheese balls. Serve with graham crackers or chocolate wafers.
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
¾ cup finely chopped pecans
Beat cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer 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 wrap and return to the refrigerator for 1 hour.
When ready to serve, remove and discard the plastic wrap. Roll cheese ball in pecans and place onto a serving platter.
