Spider Cheese Ball

Ingredients:

12 ounces cream cheese, softened

4 tablespoons butter, softened

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¾ cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

¾ cup mini chocolate chips

Chocolate sprinkles

Chocolate licorice

M&Ms

Vanilla wafers

Method:

In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and mix well. Add the brown sugar and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Place a small amount of mixture onto plastic wrap and wrap it up forming a ball for the spiders head. Place remaining amount onto plastic wrap and form into a ball for the body. Place both in the freezer for at least 10 minutes or until firmed up. Roll each ball in chocolate sprinkles and place onto a plate. Cut 4 licorices in half and push into the sides to create the legs. Add M&Ms for the eyes and a design on the body if desired. Serve with vanilla wafers for dipping. Enjoy!
