Ingredients

• 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 (10-ounce) box Teddy Grahams or graham crackers/sticks
• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until fluffy. Gradually add in the sugars and beat until well incorporated. Mix in the chocolate chips until combined. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. One hour before serving, remove from the refrigerator and shape into a ball. Roll in the chopped walnuts. Note: recipe is still delicious without the nuts if allergies are a concern. Serve with the Teddy Grahams or graham crackers/sticks on the side. Optional: you can also add a few drops of raspberry preserves to make it a chocolate/raspberry cheese ball, or can use a combination of chocolate chips, such as white chocolate, peanut butter, butterscotch, etc.
