S'mores Dessert Cheese Ball

It isn't a party until you have a cheese ball, right? I decided to try something new and made a dessert cheese ball. I've tried dessert cheese balls at craft shows and fairs, but I had never attempted to make one myself.

Typically, dessert cheese balls start with cream cheese and powdered sugar, and you cream them together similar in the way in which you would a cheesecake.

I wanted to make a s'mores cheese ball because s'mores always seem to be a fan favorite. Plus, I thought it would compliment the graham cracker dipping sticks well!
