One year, I attended a ladies meeting and we were to bring our favorite snack. One of the ladies had brought this cookie dough ball. It resembled a cheese ball but minus the egg in the dough. I thought genius, you get the benefits of enjoying cookie dough without worrying about eating the eggs. Maybe I am the only one who worries about that?!?!?
Anyways I wanted to make that for a ladies meeting we were having at our church. But we decided on going the peanut butter route. Who doesn’t like peanut butter and chocolate????
I started out chopping up a package of Reeses peanut butter cups into small pieces.
I then added to a mixing bowl:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 pkg cream cheese
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Mix it well with a mixer. When solid you can place it on a piece of plastic wrap. Then wrap up into a ball and place in the freezer.
We didn’t get to let ours sit for more than an hour in the freezer, which worked out perfectly. It was solid but not smooshy. I flipped the ball onto a plate. Then we put white chocolate chips onto the outside of the ball. My daughter then decided to stick vanilla wafers into the ball all the way around. Other people have put Reese Pieces candies around the outside or plain chocolate chips. We only had white so we did that. The cookies were delicious into the mix. 
If you are a lover of peanut butter and chocolate make this. After using up all the vanilla wafers, I started using apple slices to dip into this. DELICIOUS!!! I will be making this for an apple dipping sauce in the fall time. Enjoy!
