My tag is wrapped around what I gave as neighbor gifts this year and it is super yummy...a chocolate chip cheesecake ball...oh yum!

Here is the recipe:
Ingredients
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup mix of mini chocolate chips and heath bar chips
Directions
1.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.
2.Shape chilled cream cheese mixture into a ball. Wrap with plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
3.Roll the cheese ball in mini chocolate chips and heath bar chips before serving.

I serve this with large pretzel sticks (the combination of salty and sweet is so yummy), graham crackers, choc. graham crackers and thin ginger cookies. The varieties are endless. You can roll it in nuts, or M&M's or oreo crumbs or wherever your imagination takes you and serve it with a variety of treats. I have found it is so yummy and very different than your normal cheese ball or dessert. It freezes well, too. I hope you enjoy!
