Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz. of Cream Cheese softened - this will typically be two 8 oz packages
  • 8 tablespoons of Butter softened
  • 1/2 cup of Mini Chocolate Chips
  • 3/4 cup of Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 1/3 cup of Brown Sugar
  • 1/3 cup of Powdered Sugar
  • Large container of Chocolate Sprinkles
  • Something for dipping such as vanilla wafers, graham crackers, chocolate wafers, or pretzels

Instructions
 

  • Place all of your ingredients, except the chocolate sprinkles, into a large mixing bowl.
  • Mix the ingredients until well combined. You may need to knead this with your hands.
  • Roll the mixture into a ball.
  • Cover the entire Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball with chocolate sprinkles (or whatever covering ingredient you have chosen). This can be done in many ways, but I would recommend laying out your sprinkles on a flat and clean surface and then rolling the ball through it. Then, manually place more sprinkles on to fill in what was missed.
  • Place the finished cheese ball on a plate or dish and chill in the refrigerator for three hours.
  • Serve with vanilla wafers, chocolate wafers, graham crackers, and/or pretzels. Enjoy!

Notes

If you don't want to use chocolate sprinkles for the outside of the Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball, you might prefer to use mini chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or chopped pecans.
