Chocolate Chip Cheeseball

My chocolate chip cheeseball is one of the most popular treats around the Emporium. It seems to disappear almost as if by magic. Of course, magic has a name; I call him husband!

Chocolate Chip Cheeseball

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup salted sweet cream butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup confectioner sugar
1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chipsCheck Spelling

Beat cream cheese, butter & vanilla until creamy.
Slowly add brown sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon & confectioner sugar until blended.
Stir in 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips.
Place mixture on a piece of plastic wrap and form a ball.
Refrigerate a few hours until firm.
Roll cheeseball in the remaining 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips.
Keep refrigerated until serving time. Serve with graham crackers.

So it begins...

Welcome to The Enchanted Emporium! Is there anything we can help you find today? A bit of inspiration? A recipe, perhaps. Then there is the always popular chuckle-inducing-nuttiness our family creates so {ahem} frequently. Book discussions and knitting grumbles are likely to be found in the freebie bin by the door. We're still setting up, but feel free to browse. There is no telling what can be found on the shelves. Fair warning though, the dust bunnies bite.
