How to Make a Chocolate Cheese Ball
All you have to do to make this chocolate chip cheese ball dip is mix the ingredients, cover in sprinkles, and chill!

Can I Eat Raw Cake Mix?
Raw cake mix contains raw flour, which people are warned against eating because it has been linked to E. coli. This is why you may have heard its not safe to eat raw cookie dough. If you are worried about the raw flour, you can heat the cake mix to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. I explain how to do that in my Bunny Butt Cheese ball recipe.
Tips for Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Ball
- If your cheese ball is too sticky to handle, you can form it into a ball using a piece of plastic wrap. Chill it in the fridge with the plastic wrap still on. You can then apply the sprinkles after the cheese ball has chilled, by lightly pressing them into the chilled dip.
- Chill the cheese ball on the plate you are going to serve it on, so you don’t have to try to transfer it.
- If you don’t even want to bother shaping the dip into a ball, just serve it in a bowl! The shape does not affect the taste and it will be just as good.
