A friend brought these cheese balls as a hostess gift to our Christmas open house. They instantly caught the fancy of my family. It's like having an appetizer for dessert. Ingredients:
4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened |
2 cups finely chopped pecans |
1 package (11-1/2 ounces) milk chocolate chips, finely chopped |
36 starlight mints, crushed |
red and green sprinkles, optional |
chocolate wafers |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth; add the pecans, chocolate chips and crushed mints. Divide into four portions. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. Shape each portion into a ball; roll in red and green sprinkles if desired. Serve with chocolate wafers. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 4 cheese balls (1-1/4 cups each).
