🥣 Ingredients (Makes ~12 servings)
-
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup (120 g) creamy peanut butter
-
½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (plus extra for rolling)
-
Optional: ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Mix the Base
-
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
-
Fold in chopped Reese’s cups (and chocolate chips if using).
2. Shape the Cheese Ball
-
Use your hands or a spatula to form the mixture into a ball shape.
-
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
3. Coat the Cheese Ball
-
Roll the chilled ball in more chopped Reese’s cups, mini chocolate chips, or crushed peanuts for extra texture and flavor.
4. Serve
-
Serve with graham crackers, pretzels, or apple slices.
-
Keep refrigerated until serving.
🌟 Tips
-
For a smoother ball, ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
-
Can be made a day ahead, as flavors improve after chilling.
-
To make it extra festive, drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
If you want, I can also make a quick 5-minute version that doesn’t require chilling and uses store-bought peanut butter cups for coating — still rich and creamy.
Do you want me to do that?
