Ingredients

8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
1 ½ cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (for melting chocolate)

Instructions

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Fold in the crushed graham crackers until the mixture is thick and holds its shape.
Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for about 20-30 minutes until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil (or butter) in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip each peanut butter cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
Refrigerate until the chocolate sets, about 15-20 minutes.
Serve chilled and enjoy. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat cream cheese to ensure a rich and creamy texture.
To prevent mess, use a fork or skewer when dipping in melted chocolate.
If the mixture is too soft, chill before rolling to make shaping easier.
Chocolate coating hardens quickly—work fast when dipping!
Experiment with different toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt for variety.
