No bake desserts are my favorite for the holidays and peanut butter and chocolate is always a winning combination. Cookie ball truffles are an easy treat to make with the kids and can be decorated for any holiday occasion.

Ingredients Needed for Peanut Butter Balls

• Nutter Butter Cookies
• Cream Cheese ~ Softened
• Peanut Butter ~ Crunchy or Smooth
• Almond Bark or Candy Melts ~ Chocolate and/or Vanilla
• Sprinkles ~ Optional for decorating

How to Make Peanut Butter Truffles

• Place Nutter Butter Cookies or peanut butter sandwich cookies in a food processor and process until fine crumbs.
• Add softened cream cheese and peanut butter.
• Process until smooth and well combined.

• Place cookie mixture into a bowl and use a 1 inch cookie scoop to make the balls.

• Roll cookie balls between your hands to make round truffle balls.

• Place on a parchment lined baking sheet with space in between.
• Freeze for 10 minutes.

• Melt chocolate almond bark in microwave or in a non-stick pan over low heat. Stirring until completely melted.
• Remove cookie balls from freezer.
• Dip into melted almond bark, a large fork works well, turn cookie balls over to completely coat. Allow excess coating to drip off.

• Return to the lined baking sheet with space between.

• Melt 2 squares of vanilla bark if desired and drizzle over cookie balls or garnish with sprinkles if you prefer. If using sprinkles, garnish as you dip them so they will stick.
