Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 16 ounce package Nutter Butter cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
Coating and Toppings
- 10 ounces chocolate melting wafers
- Sprinkles (for topping)
- Sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
- Process Cookies: Add the Nutter Butter cookies to a food processor and process until fine crumbs form. Reserve 1 tablespoon of crumbs for topping, if desired.
- Mix Ingredients: Add softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and creamy peanut butter to the food processor with the cookie crumbs. Process until the mixture is well combined into a smooth, uniform dough.
- Form Balls: Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out the mixture and roll each portion into balls with your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and continue until all dough is used.
- Melt Chocolate: Place chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Balls: Using a spoon and fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Gently slide the coated ball off the fork onto the parchment paper to set.
- Add Toppings: After every 4th ball, sprinkle the tops with reserved Nutter Butter crumbs, sprinkles, or sea salt before the chocolate sets for added texture and flavor.
- Set Truffles: Allow the chocolate-coated balls to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes until hardened. Alternatively, refrigerate for about 10 minutes to speed up the setting process.
- Store Properly: Once set, store the Nutter Butter Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep fresh and delicious for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened before mixing to achieve a smooth dough.
- For a quicker set, refrigerate after dipping in chocolate.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent drying.
- You can customize toppings with crushed nuts or shredded coconut if desired.
- Nutter Butter Balls can also be made smaller bite-sized for party platters.
