So of course I need to make some goodies for my party this Saturday. I love anything I can make beforehand and just whip it out before the party starts and not have to worry about it. This Peanut Butter Cheeseball is perfect for that. I can make this a day ahead of time and just unwrap it before the party and voila!!! Plus this also gives me more time to make some of my other munchies (flog to follow when I start making them)If you are a peanut butter fan, you will love this. If you aren't...we can't be friends.
Peanut Butter "Cheese Ball"
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (not all-natural)
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup peanut butter chips
Graham cracker sticks, teddy grahams, and/or apple slices for dipping
Directions:
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter and brown sugar in large mixer bowl until blended.
Spoon onto a large piece of plastic wrap; and shape to make a ball.
Freeze for 1 hour 30 minutes or until firm enough to keep its shape. Place peanut butter and chocolate chips in flat dish. Remove plastic wrap from ball and roll ball into morsels to completely cover, pressing morsels into the ball if necessary.
Take ball out of freezer to thaw a bit. I placed the morsels in a bowl and sorta plopped the ball down and then added morsels to the top of it. It got a little messy, but who cares!! Serve with graham cracker sticks, teddy grahams, or apple slices for dipping or spreading.
