Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, stirring until the mixture becomes thick and firm enough to shape.
- Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls.
- Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm before serving.
Notes
- For easier shaping, chill the mixture for 15 minutes before rolling into balls.
- Roll the balls in crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or cocoa powder for added texture and flavor.
- To make chocolate-dipped peanut butter balls, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil and dip each ball before chilling again.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- For best flavor, use classic creamy peanut butter (not natural or oily types).
