New Years Eve

Hope everyone has enjoyed thieir holidays, it always seems like such a rushed time of year. I thought that I would share a really good recipe for a dessert cheeseball that we had on Christmas eve in case you will be entertaining for new years or if you are looking for a fun idea for dessert. I will be making it again for the family new years eve get together.

Dessert Cheeseball
1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese soft
4 tablespoons butter, soft
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1 box of graham crakers

To make it lighter (less calories) use fat free cream cheese and low fat graham crakers

In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, butter and powered sugar; beat till smooth. Stir in chocolate chips. Set mixture on wax paper and form into a ball, paat with nuts and turn till whole ball is covered. Chill for 1-2 hours. Serve with graham crakers.

If you are looking at it going ewe about the butter (because i did at first) you don't even notice it. It was very yummy and a must keep! Happy Cooking everyone!
