Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz 225 g cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter natural or regular
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup graham cracker crumbs or oat flour for a healthy version
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: melted dark chocolate crushed peanuts, cocoa powder, or crushed graham crackers

Method
 

  1. Beat the Base:
  2. In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
  3. Sweeten It:
  4. Add honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.
  5. Add the Texture:
  6. Mix in graham cracker crumbs and a pinch of salt. The dough should be thick enough to roll. If too soft, chill for 10–15 minutes.
  7. Form Balls:
  8. Scoop 1 tablespoon portions and roll into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
  9. Add the Finishing Touch:
  10. Drizzle with melted chocolate or roll in crushed nuts, cocoa, or crumbs.
  11. Chill & Serve:
  12. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

 

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture.
  • Substitute graham crumbs with oat flour for a whole food option.
  • To make vegan, use dairy-free cream cheese and maple syrup.
  • Add protein powder for a post-workout snack.
