Here’s a step-by-step recipe for Christmas Nutter Butter Balls:

par

Ingredients:

  • 16 oz package Nutter Butter cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt (optional)
  • 10 oz chocolate melting wafers
  • Sprinkles, for topping
  • Sea salt, for topping

Instructions:

  1. In a food processor, pulse the Nutter Butter cookies until they form fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a large resealable bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, creamy peanut butter, and salt (if using) until well combined and smooth.
  3. Add the Nutter Butter cookie crumbs to the cream cheese mixture and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to make it easier to shape.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and roll it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Place the baking sheet with the Nutter Butter balls in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up.
  8. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate melting wafers according to the package instructions. You can use a double boiler or microwave them in short intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  9. Remove the Nutter Butter balls from the freezer. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork or dipping tool to ensure it’s fully coated. Gently tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
  10. Place the chocolate-coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately decorate with sprinkles and/or a small pinch of sea salt on top of each ball before the chocolate sets.
  11. Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
  12. Once the chocolate has set, your Christmas Nutter Butter Balls are ready to serve and enjoy! Store any leftover balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
