Indulgent cheese ball with cream cheese, brownie crumbles, and caramel sauce - a game day must-have!
Ingredients:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Fudge Brownie Mix, baked and cooled as directed on box
  • 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons caramel topping
  • 1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons from 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting, for laces
  • Apple slices, graham crackers, pretzels and mini vanilla wafer cookies, as desired
Instructions:
  • Crumble the baked brownies using a fork and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip together cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy, for about 2 minutes. Gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in brown sugar and 1/3 cup caramel topping until smooth. Gently fold crumbled brownies into the mixture with a spatula.
  • Shape mixture into a 12x7 inch football in the center of a large oval-shaped serving plate. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Before presenting, generously sprinkle chopped pecans over the cheese ball for a crunchy coating. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of caramel topping. Use a decorating bag with a small writing tip or a resealable plastic bag with a small corner snipped off to pipe vanilla frosting onto the football-shaped cheese ball to create laces. Serve alongside the remaining ingredients.
