Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tbs brown sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans

In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in powdered 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.

Roll the cheese ball in finely chopped pecans before serving. (I will either just roll it in mini chocolate chips or both pecans and chocolate.)

Serve with gram crackers, nilla wafers or ginger snaps.
