Why You’ll Love This Toffee Chocolate Chip Cheeseball Recipe

Important Ingredient Notes

  • Cream cheese – Use the full-fat kind that comes in blocks, not a tub.
  • Unsalted butter – Using unsalted butter gives you more control over the flavor of the recipe.
  • Powdered sugar – Also known as confectioners’ sugar.
  • Brown sugar – Brown sugar adds a caramel note to the cream cheese dip. 
  • Mini semi-sweet chocolate morsels – Mini chocolate chips mean more evenly distributed chocolate in your toffee chocolate chip cheeseball!
  • Toffee bits – While you could chop up a Heath bar, you can also just buy toffee bits from the baking section.
  • Sprinkles – Use sprinkles that fit the theme of your party!

How to Make a Toffee Chocolate Chip Cheeseball

  • Mix: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter for about 3 minutes, or until they’re fluffy. Add both sugars and beat until completely blended, then stir in the morsels and toffee bits.
  • Chill: Wrap the mixture in a large piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. If desired, lay on a serving tray and shape into a heart, then cover it with sprinkles.

Tips and Tricks

  • Soften the cream cheese and butter before starting the recipe. If they’re still chilled, they’ll stick to the beaters and you’ll have trouble getting them to evenly mix into the other ingredients. 
  • If you don’t want to do sprinkles, you can also cover this in chopped nuts or additional mini chocolate chips
  • To shape the cheeseball, unwrap the chilled mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper and shape it with your hands.
  • Adding sprinkles? Use your hands to pat them into the cheeseball so they stick. 

What to Serve With This Toffee Chocolate Chip Cheeseball

Here are some of my favorite ideas for dipping:

  • Pretzels
  • Sliced apples, strawberries, and other fresh fruit
  • Graham crackers
  • Chocolate or vanilla wafers
  • Animal crackers

    1. Good thing I have a disclaimer in my “about me” page about weight gain! Thanks for stopping by Lisa 🙂

  1. This is just what I needed. A large heart shaped slab of cream cheese and sugar. It really isn’t Valentine’s Day without it.

  2. OH EM GEE!! This heart of goodness looks AMAZING! I seriously want to take a bite now and will definitely be making this for an upcoming party! Pinning ! 🙂

  3. oh my Aimee! You did it again! I love toffee! I love chocolate! I love cheesecake! Put them all together and you’ve got me on my knees begging for some! Delicious!

  4. My son would LOVE this sweet cheeseball. I’m pretty sure I need to have this waiting for him after school on Thursday. Yep. It’s settled. I do. 🙂

  5. Girl you are killing me with all these awesome dips! Can I come live with you? 🙂 I need this in life. And how cute to shape it into a heart. I think everyone in our lives are used to us serving them holiday food the month before the actual holiday! #foodbloggerproblems

    1. Totally agree. I am already thinking “green.” And of course you can come live with me. Oh the fun we would have 🙂

  6. OMG. I just want to jump through the screen and eat the entire thing in one sitting! It looks so fantastic! Aaaaand, now I really want to make a cannoli cheeseball. You’re giving me all sorts of crazy ideas 😉

  7. Looks gorgeous Aimee! If I had this waiting for my kids as an after school snack, they would think they’ve died and gone to heaven! Yummy! I may make it for myself as an “after they leave for school snack”!

  8. Great idea!! You got me thinking! This would make such a wonderful spread to serve on V-day!!

  9. Ok Aimee. This is so great!! I just want to keep staring at the photos. I bet my kids would love this as well!

  10. I remember getting all the sprinkles like that on my PB football. A little work, but so worth it. This is amazing Aimee! I wouldn’t share, not at all!

  11. Oh Aimee this is SO beautiful! What a perfect treat for a Valentine’s Party or just to snack on with loved ones. Love it!

  12. ohmygod. I just. I don’t even – what do I say in response to this magnificent cheese ball? Is it too old of a reference to merely shout GET IN MY BELLY!!?

    1. Thanks Eva. It’s quite perfect, and sprinkles are NOT mandatory. You can also use chocolate jimmies to keep it neutral!
