Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip

I got this recipe from my friend Kim. This stuff took off and I don't think I've found anyone yet that didn't like it. I always have to make extra to leave at home for Brian if I'm taking it somewhere.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened (I use low fat)
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened (no substitution)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 - 1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans (optional)

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. (Optional - I just use it in the container as a dip)
  • Roll the cheese ball in finely chopped pecans before serving. (optional)

I serve these with graham cracker sticks. Cinnamon or chocolate.
