Step-by-Step Instructions for Reese’s Cheese Ball

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter using an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until fluffy and fully combined.
  • Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the mixture. Mix on low speed for 1-2 minutes until the sugar is fully incorporated.
  • Gently fold in the chopped mini Reese’s cups using a spatula.
  • Spoon the mixture onto plastic wrap in the center and form it into a ball shape. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20-30 seconds until smooth.
  • Unwrap the cheese ball and dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Place it on parchment paper.
  • While still soft, sprinkle the top with crushed peanuts or additional chopped mini Reese’s.
  • Refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes until the chocolate is firm before serving.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is softened completely for a smooth filling. Prepare a day in advance for enhanced flavors.
