Jen's Wonderful Chocolate Cheese Ball!

This is one of my favorite things to make, so I thought I would share.

Okay: so first of all you need to get those Christmas tunes going, I suggest All I want for Christmas by Mariah Carey, or Please Come Home for Christmas by Bon Jovi, but if all you have is Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, that'll work too.

Now, you'll need : 1/2 cup butter (not marg.), 1 package cream cheese. Grab a bowl and mix them together while shaking what your mama gave ya! For those multi taskers this can count as exercise too! If you have bells, attach them to your apron strings and you can feel like a belly dancer and jingle! Wear the apron, you'll need it!

Once that's well blended, grab 3/4 cup icing sugar, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and 1 tbsp cocoa. Throw that all in there, now, if you're like me you'll spill icing ugar all over the black outfit you're wearing, so grab the bag and just shake some more in.

While your stirring this, make sure you stop to sing along to your Christmas music and try to hit those high notes! Be sure not to spit in the chocolate cheese ball unless you want to have a reason to keep it for yourself.

Now once this looks consistent, add 1/3-1/2 cup chocolate chips (I use chipits milk chocolate because they taste like a candy bar) so shove a handful in your mouth, your family will be thankful it's stopped the singing! If you want to mix it up, use some dark or white chocolate chips too!

Now, I used a 1/3 cup pecans too, because those are my favorite, but you can change that if you want. I'm not gonna tell you that's wrong! Take this opportunity to express yourself. Be Nutty! (I'm so lame). You can eye ball this too. It's got sugar, butter and cream cheese, there is no way to make this not taste good.

Now, dance your way over to the fridge and chill for like a half hour. I put it in a bowl because I'm a rebel and I have no idea how to get things in a ball shape. But I bet you could google that and find out. Or get some ball rolling porn tips! Haha. (Now I'm a perv too)

Serve with Christies Crispy Thin Chocolate Wafers, I don't know if that's the actual name, but if I ran the company that's what I'd call them.

Easy, heh?? Just think of the praise you'll get for your fine culinary skills, maybe you're dancing and singing too!

Hope that put a smile on your face!

Have a great holiday season! Jen
