These are recipes from Kelly's Korner Blog...they look yummy

CHOCOLATE CHIP CHEESE BALL
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. butter, softened
3/4 c. confectioners' sugar
2 T. brown sugar
1/4 t. vanilla
3/4 c. miniature semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 c. finely chopped pecans

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in confectioners' sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
2. Shape chilled cream cheese mixture into a ball. Wrap with plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
3. Roll the cheese ball in finely chopped pecans before serving. But it can be hard to form a ball so  skip the nuts and just put the mixture in a bowl for a pretty presentation.
