I am so excited to be guest posting today at Somewhat Simple! I keep very busy around here, but I like to keep things SIMPLE! Today I am excited to share with you a super yummy super simple recipe!! 

After making a few batches of Oreo Balls and eating most of them myself (yum!), I was inspired to try a new kind of cookie balls!

Nutter Butter Cookie Balls

If you like peanut butter and chocolate and making very simple recipes, then you will like these.

  

Here's the how to:

Ingredients:

• 1 package Nutter Butter cookies
• 1 8oz block of cream cheese
• 1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

• Using a food processor or a blender, crush up the cookies until finely ground
• Place the cookie crumbs and the cream cheese in a stand mixer (I am sure you can use a hand mixer or even mix it together with your hands, but it will take a bit more time and effort on your part.)
• Mix for several minutes until well-blended.
• Form mixture into small balls and place on waxed paper.  Put in the fridge or freezer for about 20 minutes or so.
• Melt your chocolate (see how to melt chocolate here) and dip the cookie balls into the chocolate, tapping off the excess chocolate.
• Let sit on waxed paper or foil until set. 

I tried making these with peanut butter instead of cream cheese.  It works and definitely makes them more peanut-buttery-ish.  However, the texture is not as smooth with the peanut butter as it is with the cream cheese.  But it is also another delish variation!


Enjoy!
