Ingredients
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened Room temperature for easy mixing.
- 1/2 cup Peanut Butter, smooth Room temperature.
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Sifted if lumpy.
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Firmly packed.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Mini Reese’s Pieces Plus 1/4 cup for coating.
- 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips Plus 1/4 cup for coating.
- 1/2 cup Crushed Peanut Butter Cups Plus 1/4 cup for coating (optional).
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula and beat until smooth and fully combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Fold in the 1 cup mini Reese’s Pieces, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup crushed peanut butter cups (if using). Mix gently so the candy pieces stay intact and evenly distributed.
- Shape the mixture into a compact ball using your hands or a small bowl to help form it. Wrap the shaped cheese ball tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up; longer chilling will make it easier to roll and slice.
- In a shallow dish, combine the 1/4 cup mini Reese’s Pieces, 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, and 1/4 cup crushed peanut butter cups to create the coating mixture.
- Remove the chilled cheese ball from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Place it on a clean plate and roll it gently in the coating mixture until the surface is evenly covered. Press lightly so pieces adhere.
- Place the coated cheese ball on a serving plate. Serve with graham crackers, pretzels, or cookies for dipping. Enjoy!
Notes
This cheese ball pairs beautifully with a variety of dippers and sides to balance sweetness and texture.
