Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the graham cracker crumbs gradually, stirring until everything is well incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle or dip each ball in melted chocolate. Optional: roll in chopped peanuts for extra crunch.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm.
Notes

- You can swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
- If the mixture feels too soft to roll, refrigerate it for 10–15 minutes before shaping.
