Cheese Balls

I made a cheese ball for the office today.

When I told my friend, Christina, about it she told me about this sketch from SNL.

Stinkin' hilarious!



Trena's Famous Cheese Balls


1 8oz. package of cream cheese (softened)
1 stick of *real* butter (softened)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup of powdered sugar
2 tbs of brown sugar
3/4 cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pecans or Graham crackers to coat ball (optional)

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until fluffy. Gradually add sugars; beat just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Place cream cheese mixture on a large piece of plastic wrap; shape into a ball. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Just before serving, roll cheese ball in pecans or crushed graham crackers. Serve with graham crackers.
