8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.

Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

Stir in graham cracker crumbs until the mixture holds together and thickens enough to form balls.

Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands.
-
Melt chocolate chips (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler.
-
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate and place on a parchment-lined tray.
-
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the balls to firm up.
-
Once set, enjoy!
Notes
- For added texture, mix in mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts like peanuts or almonds.
- You can skip the chocolate coating or use alternatives like crushed graham crackers or caramel drizzle.
- A vegan version is possible by using dairy-free cream cheese and peanut butter.
