Directions
- For the cheese ball: Add the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and salt to a medium bowl and use an electric mixer on medium speed to combine until smooth.
- Add the roughly chopped chocolate and/or cookies to the bowl and fold it in with a rubber spatula. Place two pieces of plastic wrap on the counter. Scoop the mixture into a ball shape and wrap in plastic to help form the ball. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight. You can put it in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes at the end to help firm up.
- When ready to serve, lay the colorful candy on a plate. Remove the cheese mixture from the refrigerator and unwrap, then roll the ball in the chocolate, making sure to coat all sides.
- For serving: Place the cheese ball on a platter with assorted cookies, pretzels and sliced apples.
