Chocolate Cream Cheese Ball

My Mikey P. does not like cream cheese, but a friend at work brought this for our Thanksgiving feast and Mikey tried and liked it.  It is wonderful.  Try it.

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4  pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
3/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, and/or apple slices
Directions:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until fluffy.  Gradually add sugars; beat just until combined.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Place cream cheese mixture on a large piece of plastic wrap; shape into a ball.  Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Just before serving, roll cheese ball in pecans.  Serve with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, and/or apple slices.
