Ingredients

Scale

1 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted
Optional toppings: crushed peanuts, additional chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and well blended.
Gradually add the graham cracker crumbs, stirring until fully incorporated. The mixture should be thick and moldable.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Once all the balls are formed, dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Return them to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Optionally, sprinkle crushed peanuts on top or drizzle additional melted chocolate over the balls.
Refrigerate the cheesecake balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother mixture.
If the mixture is too sticky, grease your hands lightly with butter or use parchment paper.
You can experiment with other toppings like sprinkles, coconut flakes, or crushed pretzels.
These cheesecake balls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
