8 oz. cream cheese, softened
½ cup butter, softened
3/4 cup confectioner’s sugar
2 tbsp. brown sugar
¼ tsp. vanilla extract

Beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla until smooth. Beat in sugars just until blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate, covered, for about two hours or until firm enough to shape. Place mixture on a large sheet of plastic wrap and shape into a ball. Refrigerate, wrapped, at least one hour. To serve, roll cheese ball in pecans. Serve with graham crackers.
