No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls 
These bite-sized delights combine the creaminess of cheesecake, the nuttiness of peanut butter, and the richness of chocolate into an irresistible treat. Perfect for parties or a sweet indulgence!
Ingredients
For the Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
For the Coating:
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate (or chocolate chips), melted
2 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
For Garnish (Optional):
Crushed peanuts
Sprinkles
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2. Add Graham Cracker Crumbs
Gradually fold in the graham cracker crumbs until fully combined. The mixture should be firm enough to roll into balls.
3. Form the Balls
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls.
Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Chill the Balls
Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
5. Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.
6. Coat the Balls
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined sheet.
7. Garnish and Set
Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle crushed peanuts or sprinkles on top if desired.
Refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
8. Serve
Serve chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week.
