Ingredients
– Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese for the creamy base

Instructions
1-Alright, let’s get our hands dirty or should I say, creamy? Preparing these Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls is as fun as it is simple, with the whole process taking just about 5 minutes for assembly, plus some chilling time. Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to make things easy and mess-free. This no-bake dessert is ideal for busy folks like you, whether you’re a student cramming for exams or a parent juggling after-school activities.
2-Next, whip the two 8-ounce packages of cream cheese and 1 cup of natural peanut butter with honey together until they’re super smooth think of it as giving your arm a little workout. Scoop out 2-tablespoon-sized balls (that’s about 30 ml each) and place them on your prepared baking sheet. Pop those in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours until they’re firm enough to handle without turning into a gooey mess.
3-While the balls are chilling, melt the 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate using a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring constantly for that silky smoothness. Once melted, dip each frozen ball into the chocolate, shake off the excess, and quickly top with the half a cup of crushed honey roasted peanuts for that irresistible crunch. Finally, put them back on the parchment and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.
