CHOCOLATE CHIP CHEESE BALL
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
DIRECTIONS
- 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.
- Shape chilled cream cheese mixture into a ball. Wrap with plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Roll the cheese ball in finely chopped pecans before serving. But it can be hard to form a ball so I skipped the nuts and just put the mixture in a bowl. (I think it's better that way!)
1/2 Jar Mayonaise
16 oz sour cream
12 bacon strips cooked and crumbled
2 small tomatos - diced
2 Teaspoons Garlic Salt
Mix ingredients together and serve with crackers.

I'm putting together a Christmas Party/Dinner for the families w/deployed spouses in my Hubby's Unit that is currently serving in Afghanistan. These yummy looking dips will definitely be making an appearance!! Thanks for sharing :)
I made this today while we were putting up our Christmas tree. It's SO good!!
I didn't bother with forming it into a ball either. And I just mixed the pecans in.
Thanks for sharing! Huge hit here! Even my husband, who's not a fan of cream cheese, liked it!
