  • Author: Nancy
  • Prep Time: 15
  • Cook Time: 1
  • Total Time: 16 minutes

Ingredients

  • Chocolate Chips: 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for coating)
  • Cream Cheese: 8 ounces, softened
  • Peanut Butter: 1 cup creamy (can substitute with almond or sunflower seed butter if needed)
  • Powdered Sugar: 2 cups
  • Graham Cracker Crumbs: 1½ cups

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace
    Start by clearing counter space and gathering all necessary tools: mixing bowls, measuring cups, spatulas, and parchment paper. Measure out your ingredients beforehand for a smoother process. Set the mood with some holiday music for a festive atmosphere!
  2. Create the Base Mixture
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and peanut butter. Use an electric mixer on medium speed until well-blended, about 1 minute.
    • Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and lump-free.
    • Slowly incorporate the graham cracker crumbs, mixing at low speed until evenly distributed.
    • Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, shape the mixture into small balls or bars, as desired.
  3. Coat Your Treats
    • Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
    • Dip each treat into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage, and place on a parchment-lined tray.
    • For added texture, roll treats in crushed nuts or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
    • Let the treats cool at room temperature until the chocolate hardens.
  4. Serving & Storing
    Once the treats have set, transfer them to an airtight container. These are perfect for enjoying throughout the holiday season or sharing with loved ones!

Notes

  • Flavor Variations: Try using dark or milk chocolate for coating.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
