How to Make Chocolate Cheese Ball
- In a mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar, then 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Place the cream cheese mixture onto a large sheet of plastic wrap. Shape it into a ball using your hands (it helps to keep your hands under the plastic wrap to prevent sticking).
- Place 1 cup of chopped pecans in a shallow dish.
- Roll the cheese ball in the pecans, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the pecans to adhere.
- Serve chilled with graham crackers or your favorite cookies.
