Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball

This is one of my favorites and always makes me think of Christmas. I am not a huge fan of cheese balls so if I am required to bring one I always like to see if I can bring a sweet cheese ball and surprise the guest!

1 pkg of cream cheese softened
1/2 cup of butter softened (real butter not margarine)
1 cup of confectioners sugar
3 tbl spoons of brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of mini chocolate chips
3/4 cups of pecans

Mix in a bowl with a beater the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and chocolate chips until thoroughly mixed together. Roll into a ball and place in the middle of saran wrap and completely cover. Refrigerate 2+ hours. Crush pecans and place on a plate. Roll the ball in the pecans to completely cover the ball. Place in the middle of a serving dish with gram cracker sticks and enjoy!

*I like to shape mine once in the saran wrap and refrigerate overnight.
