Peanut Butter Cheese Ball



  • 1 package cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (I used JIF)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 1 bag mixed peanut butter and chocolate chip morsels (I used Nestle Tollhouse)
  • apples, graham crackers or other desired serving snacks

Beat sugars, cream cheese and peanut butter in large mixing bowl until well blended.



Spoon mixture onto large piece of plastic wrap.  Pull up corners and twist together, forming a ball.  Freeze for at least 90 minutes.


Pour bag of morsels onto flat surface.  Unwrap ball and roll in morsels.  Press morsels by hand into ball if needed.  Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.



My peanut butter addicted family seemed to enjoy this.  The graham crackers were preferred to the apples for most.  I accidentally left mine in the freezer for 5 hours before adding the morsels, but it was still quite pliable and easy to work with.  I made this a day before the party and kept it in the fridge.  It stayed very soft.  I believe I could have kept it in the freezer up until the point of serving and still had a good dessert.  It's definitely something you can make ahead of time.  Enjoy!
