Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Ensure it's at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Can substitute with crunchy peanut butter for texture.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined.
  3. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until the mixture is firm enough to hold its shape.
  4. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes to help them firm up.
  6. While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  7. Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated, and place them back onto the parchment paper.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate is set.

Notes

Arrange on a platter garnished with crushed graham crackers or drizzled with extra melted chocolate. Pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to two months.
