I promise I will quit eventually ...

I know, I know ... enough with the recipes already! We have just had a million things to attend here lately and I have been on a roll in the kitchen preparing the healthiest of snacks. Last night was our Sunday School Christmas Party and it was just sort of a finger food type deal ... my favorite - I could eat my weight in appetizers and dips! I was asked to bring dessert. I went with an old favorite, Peanut Butter Blossoms, and a new recipe that I found on Kelly's blog a while ago, a Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball.

Peanut Butter Blossoms always go fast at any event and require NO effort. Get yourself a roll of peanut butter cookie dough and a bag of Hershey Kisses. Roll your cookie dough in to small balls and put the balls in a greased miniature cupcake pan like so ...

Bake on 350 degrees for about 8 minutes. They will look like mini cupcakes.

While they are hot and fresh out of the oven, stick a hershey kiss in the center.

Before removing from pan, let cookies cool.

The Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball requires a little bit more effort but not much. The ingredients are:

1 8oz. package of cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup confectioners sugar

2 tbsp. brown sugar

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Mix together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add sugars and vanilla and mix. Lastly, add your chocolate chip. Refrigerate for a few hours. Form in to ball. Refrigerate for another 2 hours. Serve with graham cracker sticks.

When the Beau got home last night I asked him to taste the Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball since I had never made it before and I didn't want to bring something gross to the party. After sampling it he said, "Oh my gosh, that is so good. It tastes exactly like Dunkaroos!"

Not exactly what I was going for but that's okay!
