Turtle Cheeseball

What you need:

    • 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 2 Tbsp. caramel sauce
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
    • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips, divided
    • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
    • 1/4 cup caramel bits (or chopped caramel candies)
    • Graham crackers, apples, vanilla wafers, etc. for dipping

Directions:

    1. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth.
    2. Add caramel sauce and powdered sugar and beat until combined.
    3. Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips and then place "dough" onto a large piece of plastic wrap.
    4. Cover the "dough" completely and then shape into a ball.
    5. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
    6. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup chocolate chips, pecans, and caramel bits.
    7. Remove cheeseball from the refrigerator and press pecan mixture onto the ball gently.
    8. Wrap in plastic wrap once again and refrigerate until ready to serve.
    9. Serve with your choice of dipper. I think the apples were my favorite but grahams are good too!
