Why You’ll Love This Toffee Chocolate Chip Cheeseball Recipe
While I love Everything Bagel Dip and Beer Cheese Dip, sweet dessert dip recipes like this Toffee Chocolate Chip Cheeseball hold a special place in my heart.
Not only are they delicious, but they make it easy to enjoy as much or as little as you want!
Here are some more reasons this sweet cream cheese dip is destined to be a hit:
- It’s incredibly easy. Let’s be honest, we don’t always have time to make an elaborate dessert—even on Valentine’s Day! This toffee chocolate chip cheeseball comes together in a snap.
- It has the flavor of cheesecake, in the form of a no-bake, no-fuss dip.
- Everyone will love it—it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!
- You can use it as the centerpiece of a dessert charcuterie board, or simply place it on a tray with cookies or graham crackers for dipping.
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.

No need to beg, I’ll share. Only if you share that PB cake 🙂
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. 🙂
I agree this needs to happen. You know. For your son. Yep, for him!!
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
Totally agree. I am already thinking “green.” And of course you can come live with me. Oh the fun we would have 🙂
Oh, this needs to happen in my kitchen ASAP!

I’ve never put toffee bits in my chocolate chip cheeseball before, and must say … DUH! So delish.
This is AWESOME!!! So, so pretty! Happy Valentine’s Day 🙂
Happy Valentine’s to you Sues!!!
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”!
Great idea!! You got me thinking! This would make such a wonderful spread to serve on V-day!!
It sure would! ENJOY Jennifer!
You’ve got it in one. Coludn’t have put it better.
Ok Aimee. This is so great!! I just want to keep staring at the photos. I bet my kids would love this as well!
I’m pretty sure your kids would love it as well Nancy! ENJOY!
Hand over the animal crackers! I want some of that dip!! Looks so cute for Valentine’s Day
Thanks Meghan! Animal crackers are a delicious “spoon”
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!
Yes, that football, OMG! So worth it to get it covered in sprinkles!
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!
Thanks Audra!
This looks soo good. Can I bring over my apple slices?
Sure can!! Any reason to make another cheeseball is good in my book.
This sounds amazing, especially with apples!! Yum!! This might have to be our after school snack too!
Enjoy April. The apples tasted so good dipped in this…or maybe it was the other way around?
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!!?
GET IN MY BELLY totally works!
Beautiful! Sounds perfect for a party!
Thanks Eva. It’s quite perfect, and sprinkles are NOT mandatory. You can also use chocolate jimmies to keep it neutral!
