Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup peanut butter
1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 cups white chocolate chips
½ cup dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
2. Add peanut butter and continue mixing until fully combined and creamy.
3. Mix in powdered sugar gradually until the mixture forms a thick dough-like consistency.
4. Scoop out portions using a cookie scoop and roll into balls.
5. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
6. Melt white chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon butter in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds.
7. Dip the chilled balls into the white chocolate and place them back on the parchment.
8. Melt the dark chocolate chips with the remaining butter and drizzle over the top.
9. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs while the chocolate is still wet.
10. Let them chill again until fully set, then serve.
Notes
For a firmer texture, use full-fat block cream cheese and chill balls thoroughly before dipping.
Smooth peanut butter blends more easily, but crunchy adds great texture.
Want a salty-sweet combo? Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top right after drizzling the chocolate.
