Reese’s Cheese Ball

Ingredients:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, depending on your preference)

• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

• 1 cup mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolate flavor)

Instructions:

1. Mix the Cheese Ball Base:

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

   • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until well combined.

2. Add the Reese’s:

   • Gently fold in the chopped mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups into the mixture, making sure they are evenly distributed.

3. Form the Cheese Ball:

   • Use your hands or a spoon to shape the mixture into a ball.

4. Coat the Cheese Ball:

   • In a shallow dish, combine the powdered sugar and any remaining chopped Reese’s (and chocolate chips if using). Roll the cheese ball in this mixture to coat it completely.

5. Chill:

   • Place the cheese ball in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firm up.
