Here's Something Chocolate!

My mom started making chocolate chip cheeseballs for showers and family parties several years ago. My sister and I absolutely love them! So naturally, any party or special occasion that I host, you bet there is a chocolate chip cheeseball somewhere in the spread!



To make this chocolate treat - you will need:
1 (8 oz.) package of cream cheese softened
1/2 cup butter softened (do not substitute with margarine)
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
3/4 cup miniature mini-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 finely chopped pecans (optional)
graham crackers (I like the chocolate sticks)

What to do:
In a mixing 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 the cheeseball in pecans (optional). Serve with graham crackers.
Makes 1 cheeseball - about 2 cups.

Enjoy your chocolate treat!
