Start by softening the cream cheese if you haven’t done so already. It should be soft enough to blend easily without lumps.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a handheld mixer to combine until smooth and well-blended.

Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Use clean hands to scoop the mixture into a ball shape. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Once chilled, remove the cheese ball from the plastic wrap. Roll it in crushed nuts for added crunch and flavor before serving.

Use a platter or serving board for an attractive presentation. Serve with fresh fruit, graham crackers, or even pretzels.
