Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)
- 6 oz softened cream cheese
- 2½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
- Optional: ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: Melted semi-sweet chocolate chips (for coating)
- Optional toppings: Coconut flakes, mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, or crushed Oreo cookies
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat peanut butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Mix in powdered sugar gradually until thick and doughy.
- Cover and refrigerate mixture for 1 hour.
- Use a cookie scoop to form even balls. Roll smooth with hands.
- Optional: Dip in melted chocolate (1 cup chips + 1 tbsp coconut oil).
- Sprinkle with toppings before chocolate sets.
- Return to fridge for at least 4 hours to set completely.
Notes
Room-temp cream cheese blends better. If too soft to roll, chill longer or add more sugar. Lightly dust hands with powdered sugar for easier rolling. Add crunch with nuts or sprinkles.
