Ingredients

  • Cream cheese (softened)
  • Peanut butter
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until the dough is thick and no longer sticky.
  4. Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll into balls using your hands.
  5. Place the peanut butter balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.

Notes

  • For added texture, roll the peanut butter balls in crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or mini chocolate chips.
  • For a decadent version, dip the balls in melted chocolate and allow them to harden.
  • Add a touch of vanilla extract for deeper flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Use full-fat block cream cheese for best results; avoid whipped spreads.
