Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (256 grams) creamy peanut butter
Sweetener:
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Gently blend room-temperature cream cheese and creamy peanut butter in a spacious mixing bowl using an electric mixer until the texture becomes uniformly smooth and velvety, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Sift powdered sugar gradually into the cream cheese and peanut butter mixture, continuously blending at medium speed until the ingredients transform into a dense, pliable dough with a consistent texture.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, carefully craft uniform spherical bites measuring approximately 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) in diameter, ensuring each bite is compactly formed and maintains a consistent shape.
- Arrange the freshly rolled bites on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between each morsel to prevent potential sticking.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow the peanut butter cream cheese bites to chill and solidify for a minimum of 30 minutes, which will enhance their structural integrity and intensify the flavor profile.

- Gradually sprinkle powdered sugar to transform the mixture into a delightful, moldable dough with perfect sweetness.
- Roll bite-sized treats quickly and easily, ensuring uniform size for consistent texture and appearance.
