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.
