I am trying to come up with many ideas to serve at parties this week, since I am sure everyone has LOTs of Holiday gatherings.
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
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 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!)

I made this this morning to snack on throughout the weekend. I agree with it being hard to make into a ball. It seems much softer than I expected so I left it in the dish but still taste delish. I also left the pecans off (I am not much of a nut person)
