Directions

BEAT cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter and brown sugar in large mixer bowl until blended. Spoon onto a large piece of plastic wrap; bring up all four corners and twist tightly (should form a ball shape).

FREEZE for 1 hour 30 minutes or until firm enough to keep its shape. Place morsels in flat dish. Remove plastic wrap from ball and roll ball into morsels to completely cover (you may find it necessary to press morsels into ball).

PLACE ball on serving dish; cover and freeze for 2 hours or until almost firm. (Can be made ahead. If frozen overnight, thaw at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.) Serve with graham cracker sticks and apple slices for dipping or spreading.

Remember to follow baking instructions before consuming.

Most Requested

I have it easy when it comes to bringing a dish for parties or pot lucks. This recipe makes it easy. It is by far the most requested recipe I have made. It goes so fast that I now double the recipe. Granny Smith apples seem to be the favorite, but Teddy Grahams or graham cracker sticks work well also. Next we will try pretzels!.

PB Cheese Ball

I made this for Memorial Weekend. I expected it to last for three days. It was gone in a few hours. I served it with cut up fruit and teddy grahms. The little ones loved it..
