Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Mix the cream cheese and peanut butter: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula to blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
  2. Incorporate the powdered sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese and peanut butter mixture, stirring well after each addition. Continue mixing until the dough is thick and holds together. If the mixture feels too sticky, add a little more powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
  3. Shape and chill: Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into 1-inch balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop. Place the formed balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Serving suggestion: Serve chilled for the best texture; if they have been frozen, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly.
