Nutter Butter Balls
- 1 package Nutter Butter Cookies
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese, Room Temperature
- 1 package Chocolate Chips, melted
First you need some Nutter Butter cookies
Then you crush the Nutter Butter cookies and mix with the softened cream cheese:
Then you roll them into balls on wax paper:
Then you cover with melted chocolate, put in the fridge, and VOILA! An incredibly easy but very yummy treat!
Update: We love these in our house! The peanut butter flavor is so yummy! To add to the flavor, we melted peanut butter chips and used a peanut butter drizzle instead of a chocolate drizzle. This really made a big difference in both the look and the taste.
So yummy looking!

ReplyDeleteWe make these all the time! I also do an Oreo version with darker chocolate on the outside and a version with Mint flavored Oreos with white chocolate on the outside. My family raves about them!
ReplyDeleteHow many balls does this recipe make?
ReplyDeleteI just made these and I made 37. I maybe could have made them a little smaller though. And they are good. I snuck a little of the dough. Mmmm.
Deleteand what do you think about freezing these for later use?
ReplyDeleteI made these tonigh and everyone thought they were good. I migt try to make them with different cookies like another posted. Super easy
ReplyDeleteMade these tonight for the first time and they were
ReplyDeletea hit! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Made this recipe and my family loved it,they were gone in the blink of an eye.It was so easy,my 7 year old grandaughter helped and loved it.I would freez the peanut butter ball for 20 min.or so next time before dipping in chocolate.But all and all it was great,will be making again soon.

Made these yesterday, took them to the garden club mtg & they were a hit. One guy was blown away by the idea of crushing a cookie. Ha! Will do oreos next time & the minted ones too & try adding rum extract, crushed nuts, coconut or put a surprise in the center to the cream cheese. My brain hurts thinking of the possibilities!! Hersheys chips were the pits to work with & used quite a bit of unsalted butter to loosen it up but the results were great. I got 65-70 balls out of the recipe. I tried a few! Oh, I did make the awful mistake of buying the wafer cremes & not the cookies the first time around & chucked the whole thing in the garbage. Need to pay attention. I used the food processor for the cookies & added the cream cheese for a few puslses to bring it altogether. Easy, easy, easy. Thank you for a great idea & getting my brain back in action! Charlotte
ReplyDeleteWhat size bag of chocolate chips did you use?
ReplyDeleteI ended up using 2 12 oz bags although I probably could have only used a bag and a half. I didn't like the fact that the chocolate was so thick and I didn't really know how to thin it.
Deletewas wondering do you need to add crisco lard to the chocolate chips when meltimg or will the chocolate harden without it
ReplyDeletehow many oz were pkg cookies
ReplyDeletethe package only comes in one size.
DeleteI think I will try again with a different cookie. Maybe like someone else mentioned, Oreos or mint cookies. I also think I may cut the cream cheese back to about 5 or 6 oz. makes it a little bland. Great idea. Wonderful for grandchildren participation.
ReplyDeleteI love making these, nutter butter, Oreos pretty much experiment with any cookie, saw one person try with circus animal cookies!! Always a hit, just be sure you don't scorch the chocolate in the microwave, I think the ghiradelli chic chips were the best I've used, but almond bark was great too. I always add a splash of vanilla.
ReplyDeleteYumm. Yumm. Yummy. I have got to try these as they have all my favorite ingredients and they are easy.

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be making these for Christmas. Instead of the chocolate chips, I plan on using the Merkens Chocolate melting wafers (the best stuff out there)
ReplyDeletethis are great and super easy. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThese wonderful little cookies are so easy to make. I put all the cookies in my food processor to crush them. My cream cheese was still in the refridgerator so I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then added to the cookies in the food processor and combined it all. So easy. The only thing I didn't like was the thickness of the melted chocolate chips. I didn't know how to think the choolate. Otherwise they are great.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a fabulous recipe. Just discovered that if you add 1T of shortening per 1 cup of chocolate chips its perfect for dipping!!!
ReplyDeletewondering if u could just spread in a 9x13 pan cover with melted choc chips
ReplyDeleteI think that would work if you made the nutter butter mixture a little dryer. (less cream cheese). With the recipe how it is, I would be afraid it wouldn't hold because the chocolate is kind of holding the nutter butter center together. Does that make sense?
