Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup chocolate sprinkles (for rolling)
- For Serving: Graham crackers, pretzels, apple slices, or other preferred dippers
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts with a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Use your hands to shape the mixture into a ball. Wet your hands slightly if needed to prevent sticking. Wrap the ball tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1–2 hours to firm up.

- Transfer to a serving platter and serve with your choice of dippers like graham crackers, pretzels, or apple slices.
Notes
- Wet your hands lightly when shaping the cheese ball to avoid sticking.

- Optional flavor additions include orange zest or peanut butter.
