🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup Peanut butter
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Mini chocolate chips
• 1 cup Chopped peanuts (optional, for coating)
• Graham crackers, pretzels, or apple slices (for serving)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

2. Add in the peanut butter, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue to mix until evenly incorporated and smooth.

3. Fold in 3/4 cup of the mini chocolate chips, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup for later.

4. Place a large piece of plastic wrap on your counter and spoon the mixture onto it. Gather the edges of the plastic wrap to shape the mixture into a ball. Twist the plastic wrap tightly to secure the shape.

5. Refrigerate the cheese ball for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to hold its shape.

6. Once firm, remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Place it on a serving plate.

7. Gently press the reserved mini chocolate chips and chopped peanuts (if using) over the surface of the cheese ball until it is evenly coated.

8. Serve immediately with graham crackers, pretzels, or apple slices for dipping. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
