Ingredients

8 ounces block cream cheese softened
1/2 cup butter softened
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups vanilla cake mix dry
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup Green colored sugar
1/2 cup purple sugar

Instructions

Cream the cream cheese, butter, and sugars together in a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Turn the Mixer down to low and stir in the cake mix, cinnamon and vanilla.
Place the mixture on a large piece of plastic wrap. Bring up all the corners of the plastic wrap and wrap into a ball. Freeze the ball for about 1/2 hours or until it is firm enough to keep its shape.
Unwrap the cheese ball and place it on your plate.
