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!

Notes
- 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.
- 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.
- After chilling, unwrap onto a sheet of parchment paper and shape with your hands. Then you can also pat sprinkles onto it.
Hi,
This is really nice blog, I used to visit once a week, There is always something new to learn.
Thank You 🙂
This is beautiful and sounds tasty but I’ve never heard of toffee bits before. Are they something you buy in the baking section?
I buy them in the baking aisle. You can take Heath bars (or Skor bars) and chop them up instead if you can’t find the bits.
I made this for my husband’s 50th surprise birthday party and it was a BIG hit! People were hesitant to eat it at first but when the first person dug in, it was full speed ahead. All I kept hearing was, “What is that!” My 17 y/o nephew made another one last night. It is addictive!!! Thanks so much; I can’t wait to try all of them….
