Instructions
Creating No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls is straightforward. Follow these steps for delicious results:
1. Mix Peanut Butter and Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese. Beat until smooth and well-blended.
2. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the mixture. Blend until creamy.
3. Incorporate Graham Cracker Crumbs: Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs until fully incorporated into the mixture.
4. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This will make the mixture easier to handle.
5. Form Balls: Once chilled, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Use a spoon to scoop out portions and roll them into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
6. Melt Chocolate Chips: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
7. Coat the Balls: Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
8. Set on Baking Sheet: Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for added flavor.
9. Chill Again: Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to set for about 30 minutes.
10. Enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, your No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls are ready to be enjoyed!
