Peanut Butter Cheese Ball

OMG, this is ridiculously ridiculous! If you love peanut butter (and I LOVE peanut butter), you HAVE to make this. I'm warning you it's best for a crowd, because it make a good sized ball and it is rich as a gazillionaire! I usually make it for parties or around the holidays. Oh, the interest of full disclosure, I know I found the recipe somewhere on the internet at some point and this is how I do it! Thank you, Internet!

Peanut Butter Cheese Ball

  • 1 8oz. pkg. cream cheese (at room temp)
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter, creamy
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. brown sugar, packed
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter chips

  • Graham crackers, Nilla wafers, apple slices for dipping.


With a mixer, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered and brown sugar together.  Place on a piece of plastic wrap and form a ball by pulling the corners together and twisting.  Freeze for 1 to 2 hours until firm. Place peanut butter and chocolate chips on a plate and roll the ball in the chips, pressing them gently into the surface to completely cover the surface. Refreeze for another 1 to 2 hours until firm.

Let sit at room temperature for 10-20 minute to soften before serving. 

Note: Can be made ahead the day before. Leftovers can be refrozen.
