Ingredients
16 oz. package Nutter Butters (or similar peanut butter cookies)
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
16 oz. melting chocolate
Optional: sprinkles or chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Crush the Cookies: Pulse Nutter Butters in a food processor until they turn into fine crumbs.
- Prepare the Dough: Add softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter to the crumbs. Process until a smooth dough forms.
- Form the Balls: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Dip in Chocolate: Melt the chocolate according to package instructions. Dip each frozen ball into the melted chocolate, covering completely, and return to the wax paper.
- Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle with sprinkles or chopped peanuts before the chocolate sets.
- Set and Store: Allow the chocolate to harden completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
If the dough is too soft, chill it briefly before rolling into balls.
For a smooth chocolate coating, ensure the chocolate is thoroughly melted and consider adding a bit of coconut oil if needed.
Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and avoid moisture affecting the chocolate coating.
