Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball Recipe

Jessica brought this treat over last night. It was a ball of sinful goodness.

Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball Recipe

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  
• ½ c. butter, softened (NOT margarine!)
  
• ¼ t. vanilla extract
  
• ¾ c. powdered sugar
  
• 2 T. brown sugar
  
• ¾ c. chocolate chips, chopped (or just use the mini chips)
  
• ¾ c. pecans, finely chopped
  
• Graham crackers

Beat cream cheese, butter, & vanilla until fluffy. Gradually add sugars & beat until combined. Stir in chips. Cover & chill 2 hours. On a large piece of plastic wrap, shape into a ball. Chill another hour. Roll in pecans just before serving. Serve with Graham crackers.

Bounty of Summer

As the sun sets earlier and evening brings crisp air, the bounty of harvest makes its way to the local farmers market. I picked up a few zucchinis the other day and whipped up a couple of loaves of zucchini bread.

The condo smells fantastic! I am waiting patiently for the loaves to cool so I can slather a slice in butter and indulge!
