Ingredients
Scale
Cheeseball Base
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Add-ins and Garnish
- ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- ½ cup Heath toffee bits
- Sprinkles, for decorating
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until the mixture is fluffy, which should take about 3 minutes with an electric mixer. This ensures a smooth and creamy texture for the cheeseball.
- Add Sugars: Add the powdered sugar and brown sugar to the bowl, then continue beating the mixture until all the sugars are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Incorporate Mix-Ins: Gently stir in the mini semi-sweet chocolate morsels and Heath toffee bits until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Chill the Mixture: Wrap the cheeseball mixture tightly in a large piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to allow it to firm up for easy shaping.
- Shape and Decorate: Remove the chilled mixture from the refrigerator. On a serving tray, shape the mixture into a heart or any desired shape, then cover the surface with sprinkles for a festive and colorful presentation.
Notes
- For best results, use softened cream cheese and butter to ensure smooth mixing.
- Mini chocolate chips work better than regular-sized chips, giving consistent bites throughout the cheeseball.
- If you’re short on time, chilling for at least 1 hour is necessary to allow shaping.
- Feel free to experiment with different shaped molds or decorations for holidays and parties.
- Store any leftovers wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
