Made with just cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar, these little bites are smooth, rich, and perfect for any occasion. Whether you need a quick snack, a party treat, or a sweet craving fix, this recipe is foolproof and ready in minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀 – Full-fat works best for creaminess.
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter 🥜 – Use natural or regular (avoid oily kinds).
  • 1 cup powdered sugar 🍬 – For sweetness and structure.

Optional Add-Ins & Coatings:

  • Melted chocolate (for dipping)
  • Crushed graham crackers
  • Shredded coconut
  • Chopped peanuts or almonds
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

1️⃣ Beat Cream Cheese & Peanut Butter

  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and fully combined. (A hand mixer works best, but a spoon will do!)

2️⃣ Add Powdered Sugar

  • Gradually mix in the powdered sugar until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.

3️⃣ Roll Into Balls

  • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls.
  • Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

4️⃣ Chill & Serve

  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Optional: Dip in melted chocolate or roll in toppings before chilling.

5️⃣ Enjoy!

  • Serve chilled and watch them disappear!

Notes

✔ Use softened cream cheese – Cold cream cheese won’t mix smoothly.
✔ Adjust sweetness – Add more powdered sugar if you prefer a firmer, sweeter bite.
✔ Try different coatings – Crushed pretzels, sprinkles, or cinnamon add fun twists.
✔ Store properly – Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
