Ingredients

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

1 cup chopped peanut butter cups

1/3 cup toffee bits or crushed peanuts

1/4 cup caramel sauce


Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 1–2 minutes.

2. Add the peanut butter, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and creamy.

3. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped peanut butter cups using a spatula.

4. Transfer the mixture onto plastic wrap and shape into a ball. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours until firm.

5. Once chilled, roll the cheese ball in toffee bits or crushed peanuts, pressing gently to coat evenly.

6. Place on a serving plate and drizzle caramel sauce over the top.

7. Let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving with pretzels, crackers, graham crackers, or cookies.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth texture.

For best presentation, add the caramel drizzle just before serving.

Chill thoroughly before coating to help the cheese ball hold its shape perfectly.
