Chocolate Chip Cheeseball

This is another TOH recipe. I have made it rolled in pecans as the recipe states and also rolled in mini chocolate chips. I like it better in the chocolate chips but then I will always choose chocolate. I serve this with graham crackers, but I think it would be good on really any type of cracker or plain not to sweet cookie. Cooking time includes chilling time.
