Red Velvet Dessert Cheeseball

Happy November! I make this during the holidays every year and there’s never any left, it’s a showstopper for any table and a must make!
Beautiful red color covered in all those chocolate chips, what could be better? Not only delicious but this can be made up to a week before and kept in fridge and on the ready for unexpected holiday visits or when you just want something special during the season!
In a bowl mix together one stick of softened butter and one brick of softened cream cheese, I do this by hand, feel free to use a mixer
Nice and creamy!
Add brown sugar, powdered sugar and the red velvet cake mix (powder) to the creamed mixture
combine well and it will turn this beautiful red color
Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap and plop the mixture in the center, pick up sides of wrap and twist at top to make a ball, refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight
Pour mini chocolate chips into a shallow bowl
Place or “plop” 😂 the cheeseball on the chips
Cover the whole ball by turning it into the chips in all sides
All done! I like to serve this with vanilla wafers.
