Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Ball

*I am sure the pecans are great but it's tasty without the nuts too.
1 (8oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbs. brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 Cup mini chocolate chips
Finely chopped pecans (optional)
1 or 2 boxes of gram cracker sticks

Beat together cream cheese and butter. Beat in sugars and vanilla, and stir in chocolate chips. Wrap in plastic wrap to form a ball, bring the corners in and twist until the ball is tight. Place ball with the tightened side on the bottom of a small plate (so it looks like a ball; this is how it keeps a ball shape). Chill in refrigerator until workable (a little hard) or chill over night. Shape into a more circular ball and roll in pecans.
This recipe is from my friend Chandie's blogspot, So We Think We Can Cook. Brooke loves, loves this. I have to try not to make it too often because it's a little too good for my thighs!
