Description
A delicious and indulgent peanut butter cheeseball coated with chocolate and served with assorted crackers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped
- 1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces or M&M’s
- Assorted crackers or pretzels for serving
Instructions
- Mixing the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and butter. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend until smooth and creamy.
- Shaping the Cheeseball: Transfer the mixture onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Shape it into a ball using the wrap to help maintain form. Refrigerate the ball for at least 1 hour to firm it up.
- Coating the Cheeseball: In a separate bowl, mix the chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers, chopped peanut butter cups, and Reese’s Pieces. Roll the chilled cheeseball in the mixture until it is fully coated with the toppings.
- Final Touches: Place the cheeseball on a serving plate. Surround with assorted crackers or pretzels for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese and butter are well softened to blend easily.
- For a sweeter version, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
- If you prefer a bit of crunch, mix in some chopped nuts into the peanut butter mixture before shaping the ball.
- Allow the cheeseball to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving for easier spreading.
