- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- While the balls freeze, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or butter) together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely.
- Place the chocolate-coated balls back on the parchment paper. If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for extra crunch and flavor.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set.
Tips:
- Keep these cheesecake balls stored in the fridge in an airtight container.
- For a fun twist, try drizzling white chocolate on top or adding a pinch of sea salt after coating.
