- ½ tsp. vanilla
- ¾ c. confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tbsp. brown sugar
- ¾ c. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until fluffy.
- Gradually add sugars, beating until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
- Place cream cheese mixture onto a large piece of plastic wrap; shape into a ball.
- Refrigerate for another hour (or more!).
- Just before serving, remove the plastic wrap and roll the cheese ball in chopped pecans.
