Nutter Butter Balls




These bite size treats are delicious. If you love Nutter Butters or the combination of peanut butter and chocolate, then you are sure to love these. They aren't as sweet as the traditional peanut butter balls, but that only means you can eat more of them, right? I hope you enjoy!

  • 1 large package of Nutter Butter peanut butter and cookie sandwiches
  • 1 package (8 oz) of cream cheese
  • chocolate candy coating (about 4 cubes)
  • sprinkles for decoration
Use a food processor to process Nutter Butters to fine crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, use a large plastic bag and crush until fine crumbs.

Transfer crumbs to large bowl. Add cream cheese and use the back of a large spoon to combine cream cheese and crumbs until one large ball forms, or mixture is evenly distributed. Roll dough into small 1 1/2" balls and place on wax paper lined baking sheet (makes about 3 dozen). Place in refrigerator for approximately 15 minutes or until firm. Melt chocolate in small bowl in microwave , 2 cubes at a time, until smooth. Dip peanut butter balls in chocolate and roll around until covered. Carefully remove balls from chocolate using a small spoon or fork, tapping off the excess chocolate. Place on wax paper. Immediately sprinkle decorations before chocolate hardens. Continue with remaining balls. Refrigerate until served.
