Nutter Butter Balls
Servings 32 balls
These Nutter Butter Balls are a nutty and sweet no-bake treat that’s ready in under an hour! These bite-sized dessert balls are the perfect combination of peanut butter and chocolate which means they’re sure to fly off the dessert table!
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Nutter Butter cookies 1 regular package
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt optional
- 10 ounces chocolate melting wafers
- Sprinkles for topping
- Sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Add the Nutter Butters to a food processor and process until a fine crumbs forms. Reserve 1 tablespoon of crumbs for topping, if desired.
- Add in the cream cheese, sugar, and peanut butter and process until combined.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out the mixture and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add the melting wafers to a bowl and melt on 30-second intervals stirring between each addition until smooth.
- Use a spoon and fork to dip each of the balls in the chocolate and gently slide off the fork onto the parchment paper to set.
- After every 4th ball, top the balls with Nutter Butter crumbs, sprinkles, or sea salt before the chocolate sets.
- Allow the balls to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes until hardened or place in the fridge for about 10 minutes to speed up the process.
- Store balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Make sure to use whole fat cream cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- 10 ounces of chocolate chips may be used instead of melting wafers but you will need to add 1 teaspoon of coconut or vegetable oil to the mixture so it doesn’t get too hard to bite through.
- These balls are pretty firm right after mixing and there is no need for them to chill before being dipped, unlike other similar recipes.
- I like adding salt to these balls because I think it adds to the overall flavor, but it can be left out.
