Shannan's Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball

1 8oz package cream cheese, softened
3/4 c powdered sugar
3/4 c mini chocolate chips
1/2 c butter (no subs), softened
1/4 t vanilla
2 T brown sugar
3/4 c finely chopped pecans
Teddy Grahams or Graham cracker sticks for serving

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until fluffy.  Gradually add sugars and beat until just combined.  Stir in chocolate chips and refrigerate 2 hours.  Place cream cheese on a piece of plastic wrap and mold into a ball.  Refrigerate at least one hour.  Just before serving, roll in chopped pecans and serve with Teddy Grahams.  Note:  Teddy Grahams or stick graham crackers are needed because regular graham crackers are too soft.
