Instructions

Prepare the peanut butter mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and well combined. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and graham cracker crumbs, and continue mixing until fully incorporated and a dough-like consistency forms.
Shape the balls: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the peanut butter mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the balls: Refrigerate the peanut butter cheesecake balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or butter) in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Dip the balls: Once the cheesecake balls are chilled, dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, ensuring they are fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Set the coating: Return the chocolate-covered peanut butter cheesecake balls to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Serve and enjoy: Once the chocolate is firm, your No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls are ready to enjoy! These bite-sized treats make a perfect snack or dessert for peanut butter and chocolate lovers!

Notes

For easier handling, you can chill the peanut butter mixture for 10-15 minutes before rolling into balls.
Store the peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
To add extra texture, consider sprinkling crushed peanuts or sea salt over the chocolate coating before it sets.
If you prefer, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a richer taste.
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for smooth mixing.
