I came up with this concoction, hoping it would taste okay.
I added cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar together.
I was hesitant to use a natural peanut butter because I didn’t want this to come out ‘oily.’ I used Skippy Natural (which is my mind, isn’t really natural) and it worked perfectly. I would suggest a creamier peanut butter – it would probably be incredible with Dark Chocolate Dreams!
I threw in a few handfuls of chocolate chips. After multiple binges tastings, I decided it needed a bit more sugar, too.
Doesn’t it looks like cookie dough? It even kind of resembles the cookie dough truffle mix. Either way, I still inhaled some.
I rolled it into a ball and threw it in the fridge to set.
After crushing some graham crackers, I rolled the cheeseball through them for a topping.
I didn’t expect my husband, most men, or even my mom to enjoy this – at least not more than one taste. It wasn’t very sweet, but I was not sure how the idea of a chocolate-peanut butter appetizer would go down.
I was wrong, and it got devoured. Even my husband ate it up!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheeseball
1-8oz block of cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1 package graham crackers, crushed
Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peanut butter in a bowl and mix together. Fold in chocolate chips. Form into a ball and let set in the refrigerator.
Crush graham crackers. Remove ball from fridge and roll through graham crackers. Store in fridge until ready to use.
Serve with graham cracker stix and vanilla wafers.
Sorry for the lack of ‘inside’ pictures, but this got eaten way too quickly. And this time, it wasn’t just me eating it. Ahh…full, bloated bellies love company.

Oh dear, that sounds delicious!
Um. Hello. Cream cheese + peanut butter + sugar + graham crackers? It would get DEVOURED in my house.. especially if I rolled it in pretzel crumbs instead of crackers lol.
you’re so creative! I would never think to do something like this. It looks great!
Seriously? A chocolate peanut butter cheeseball? That is be best idea EVER! Droooool.
Mmmm! And these can serve a dual purpose. I’ll eat most. Then hurl the rest at Husband if he refuses to rub my feet again.
I once threw a table at him, but it was an accident. (he’s a really great guy. honest)
What a concoction! You can’t go wrong with peanut butter, chocolate, and graham crackers.
YUMM!! what a great idea. this could be dangerously addicting..
Um no words. Amazing. My favorite things – cream cheese, peanut butter, chocolate…must make asap.
This is PERFECTION!!!
So creative! Love it!!
Very unique for sure. Cheese…love it, PB…love it, chocolate…very tasty….sounds like a winning combo to me! And something different too! Happy Wednesday
MMMmmmmm!! I’m so making this next week!
This sounds so so good. I like to mix a tablespoon of white chocolate wonderful peanut butter with cream cheese and that’s amazing, so I can only imagine how much better it would be with chocolate chips and in a whole ball form
mmmm. reminds me of a sandwich at Peanut Butter & Co. in NY. I want to make this and spread it on a bagel and eat, eat, eat!
All those ingredients sound delicious so of course I’d think the end result would be. Mmm add some marshmallows and it’d be a smores ball!
You’re forgiven – no doubt those delicious gems would be eaten up quickly!
mmmm i love dessert cheese balls! i usually serve mine with chocolate teddy grahams
Delicious!! Anything with peanut butter and chocolate sounds great to me!
Will you marry me? I don’t typically like cheese balls but with chocolate and peanut butter I think this would be right up my alley!!
Chocolate…:) Peanut butter…:) Cheese balls:) This must be a match made in foodie heaven;)
