Steps:
- Place the cream cheese and milk in a bowl; beat until well combined.
- Add in shredded cheese, onions, pimento and HALF of each, crumbled bacon and chopped pecans; mix to combine.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Transfer the mixture to a large piece of plastic wrap, then form into a ball; cover tightly and chill a minimum of 2 hours.
- In a pie plate mix together the remaining chopped pecans and bacon, then mix in the parsley and poppy seeds.
- Unwrap the cheese ball then gently roll into the nut mixture.

Tips:
- For optimal results, make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing. This will ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips. The better the chocolate, the better the cheese ball will taste. You can use semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate chips, depending on your preference.
- Be careful not to overmix the cheese ball. Overmixing can make the cheese ball tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For a fun twist, try adding other mix-ins to the cheese ball, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or crushed pretzels.
- Serve the cheese ball chilled. This will help it hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
