Pickle Rolls!

This is a family favorite for most members of my family. I actually do not eat them because I do not like pickles, but everyone who does love pickles seems to think they are wonderful!

What you need:

whole baby dill pickles
sliced beef (we usually use the carl budding beef)
cream cheese
toothpicks

Take the slices of beef and cut into halves. Spread cream cheese on the beef and place the pickles on top of it. Roll the beef around the pickle and insert a toothpick!

Chocolate Chip Cheeseball!

My sister brought this to a family event recently, and I HAD to have recipe after trying it. This is amazing!

1 8oz package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter/margarine, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 T brown sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
3/4 cup crushed Heath (or pecans if you choose)

Beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Now stir in chocolate chips and mix everything together. Sprinkle the Heath or pecans on the bottom of whatever you are going to serve the cheeseball on and then put the mixture on top of it. It is going to be really soft, but form it in a ball and cover it with the remainder of the topping. Refrigerate a minimum of 30 minutes before serving. You can use teddy grahams, graham crackers, or whatever else sounds appetizing to eat with it.
