Ingredients
- 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)
- 0 Graham crackers, pretzels, or apple slices (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Add in the peanut butter, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue to mix until evenly incorporated and smooth.
Step 3
Fold in 3/4 cup of the mini chocolate chips, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup for later.
Step 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.
Step 5
Refrigerate the cheese ball for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to hold its shape.
Step 6
Once firm, remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Place it on a serving plate.
Step 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.
Step 8
Serve immediately with graham crackers, pretzels, or apple slices for dipping. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
