Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup Reese’s Mini Cups, chopped
1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces, crushed (for coating)
1/4 cup extra mini chocolate chips (for coating)
Graham crackers, pretzels, or apple slices for serving
Instructions
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, and creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Step 2: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the bowl, beating on low speed until fully incorporated and the mixture is stiff.
Step 3: Using a spatula, gently fold in the chopped Reese’s Mini Cups and the 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips into the Reese’s Peanut Butter No-bake Dessert Cheese Ball base.
Step 4: Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Scoop the peanut butter mixture onto the center of the wrap.
Step 5: Gather the edges of the plastic wrap and twist the top to form the mixture into a tight ball shape.
Step 6: Place the wrapped Reese’s Peanut Butter No-bake Dessert Cheese Ball in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to hold its shape.
Step 7: In a shallow dish, combine the crushed Reese’s Pieces and extra mini chocolate chips. Remove the ball from the plastic wrap and roll it in the candy mixture until completely coated. Serve immediately or store in the fridge.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. For best results, chill the ball for at least 4 hours before serving.
