Grocery item goes gourmet (part 2)

After making the Oreo Truffles last week, I thought I would try the recipe with Nutter Butters. I don’t have a classic Peanut Butter Ball Recipe, so I thought, what the heck. They came out pretty good. I think I like the Oreo Truffles a little better though. Mainly because the flavor is so distinct. With these, its just a good old tried and true peanut butter and chocolate combo. Just plain………!

Nutter Butter Balls

Start by finely chopping the cookies…

Nutter Butter Balls

1 pkg. Nutter Butter cookies (broken… use cookie with the cream center)
1 8oz. package cream cheese (softened)
chocolate bark

1. Finely crush all but 5 cookies in a food processor or place them in a ziploc bag and crush into a fine consistency.
2. Combine with cream cheese. Use the back of a large spoon to help mash the two together.
3. Roll the mixture into 1″ balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet.
4. Melt chocolate as directed on the package and then dip balls into chocolate, tap off extra and set aside on wax paper covered cookie sheet to dry.
5. Once dry, refrigerate and enjoy!

Makes about 30 balls.

I made the Oreo version with mint oreo’s this Christmas. I added 1/2 tsp mint extract to white chocolate bark before I dipped them just to add more mint flavor. They were delicious!!!

I made the Nutter Butter Balls for a Super Bowl gathering – some dipped in melted choc chips, some dipped in peanut butter chips and then drizzled chocolate over them – the dipped in peanut butter chips were the fan favorite BY FAR over the chocolate dipped. YUMMY!!!!!

Hi Bakerella-
I’m trying to make something similar to these only in the Shape of Easter Eggs. I’m going to do these for a fundraiser for a young man that passed away unexpectedly, but I have a few questions…
Because these will need to be made in large quantities for pickup I am concerned about refrigeration. Most of the recipes include cream cheese- a few do not. If I opt for cream cheese they would have to be refrigerated correct?

I know my church growing up did these every year for a fundraiser and didn’t refrigerate (no room). I’m guessing they just did the pb and confect. sugar version…can you see any need for refrigeration there?

Also, how long do you think these would keep? I want to make sure I deliver a fresh product…but I’m only one person!! I’ll need to do a little along the way.

Thanks so much! Love, Love, Love the Blog!!! =)

I just started reading your blog. It’s pretty amazing. I’m actually making a little recipe book for fun for my grandma and me, and putting some of your cute ideas into it.

I didn’t know if you’d found a great peanut butter ball recipe or not yet – but this one is pretty good if you’d like to try it. I’m not sure where it came from originally, but my Grandma’s made them since my dad was little. It makes them in bulk though. She makes them every Christmas for our family – which is pretty big. You’ll like them though – they have chocolate :)

2 Cups Chunky Peanut butter
3 Cups Crushed Rice Crispies (measured before Crushing)
1lb Powdered Sugar.
1 Stick Softened Butter
4 oz semi-sweet Chocolate, melted

MIx ingredients and roll into balls. Place on Cookie Sheet
Melt chocolate in a zip-lock bag in microwave on Medium.
Cut 1 tip of the bag, and drizzle small amounts of chocolate over tops of peanut butter balls.
Refrigerate.

They’re easy.
