Tour of Homes + Red Velvet Cheeseball Recipe

I organized a Tour of Homes for our church.  It was tonight, and we had a blast.  Our house was on the tour, and it is just so much fun to have people over to enjoy Christmas decor and holiday food.  To see our Christmas decor, you can click here for Part 1 and Part 2.

We had at least 50 people come and go tonight, and it was really enjoyable to visit with so many from our church family.  Since there were five homes total on the tour, we each put out just a couple of snacks for people to enjoy.  I made spinach dip (a pretty standard recipe that is always delicious) and a red velvet cheeseball.  I found this recipe on Pinterest last Christmas, and it had been a hit every time I had made it.

Red Velvet Cheeseball

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 stick of butter, softened
1 1/2 cups red velvet cake mix
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2-3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Combine all ingredients but the chocolate chips.  Roll into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 hours.  Then roll the cheeseball in the mini chips.  Put it back in the refrigerator and chill until you are ready to serve it.  (Two hours is not long enough for it to totally set.  It needs at least two more hours to be hard enough to serve.)  Serve with Nilla Wafers or graham crackers.  I used the mini Nillas which were super cute and made each serving bite-sized.

Enjoy!
