Peanut Butter “Cheese” Ball

I wasn’t kidding when I said I’ve been obsessed with peanut butter lately. But I think I’ve finally satisfied my pregnancy craving.

I made this peanut butter cheese ball for a get together last weekend that ended up getting cancelled at the last minute.

My husband was out of town for an away game so that left me with this peanut butter cheese ball all alone. There was no one home to pull in the reigns or least make my conscience feel a little guilty as I devoured it.

The first time I tasted this was at game night at my friend Jenni’s house. I was training for a marathon and just completed one of my long runs that day so I was feeling like I had earned the right to eat whatever I wanted.

So I did. I ate about half of the cheese ball…no joke.

Freeze the peanut butter mixture in saran wrap to make a ball shape. After the ball has set up, roll it in the peanut butter and chocolate morsels.

If you are a peanut butter fan, you will love this. If you aren’t…we can’t be friends.

Or maybe you should try these peanut butter treats to change your mind.

This is really kid friendly and what I did share of it with my kids, they loved eating with apple slices.
