Peanut Butter Cheese Ball

***Warning!  Not Healthy!***


So, I went to a "Pinterest Party" the other night and each person had to bring a treat they found on Pinterest.  Then the hostess had a couple of fun crafts for all of us to do {also from Pinterest}.  Fun idea, right?  This was a no-brainer for me.  I'd made this recipe before and it was a huge hit.  {Not to mention - EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE!} If you're not in the mood to indulge, do not make this!!!  

I found the recipe here.

Go ahead and try it....just don't blame me when you eat the whole thing!


We like it best with apple slices, but it's also great with graham crackers, pretzels or A SPOON!


Happy snacking!!!

Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter and brown sugar in large mixer bowl until blended.
  2. Spoon onto a large piece of plastic wrap; bring up all four corners and twist tightly forming into a ball shape.
  3. 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.
  4. Place ball on serving dish; cover and freeze for 2 hours or until almost firm. (Can be made ahead. If frozen overnight, thaw at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.) Serve with graham cracker sticks, teddy grahams, or apple slices for dipping or spreading.
