They’re easy to make, require just a few simple ingredients, and are ideal for parties, holidays, or just a sweet indulgence at home.
Ingredients For Nutter Butter Cake Balls
- 12 ounces Chocolate Flavored Almond Bark, melted
- 16 ounces Family Size Nabisco Nutter Butter Cookies
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- ¼ Cup Creamy Peanut Butter (I used Jif)
- ⅓ Cup Powdered Sugar
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Nutter Butter Cake Balls Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling: Using a mixer, blend together the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Crush the Cookies: In a food processor, pulse the Nutter Butter cookies until they are reduced to a fine, sand-like consistency.
- Form the Dough: Mix the crushed cookies into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. The result should be a dough-like consistency.
- Shape the Cake Balls: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a cookie sheet.
- Chill the Balls: Refrigerate the cake balls for about 10 minutes to firm them up before coating them in chocolate.
- Coat with Chocolate: Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate almond bark, rolling it until completely covered. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing them back onto the cookie sheet.
- Decorate: If desired, sprinkle with colorful sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
- Set the Chocolate: Refrigerate the coated cake balls for another 5 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Serve & Enjoy! Allow the cake balls to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Tips for Success:
- You can use regular almond bark instead of chocolate-flavored and add food coloring for more decorating options.
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to make mixing easier.
- Use a fork or dipping tool when coating in chocolate for a smooth finish.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
These Nutter Butter Cake Balls are the perfect combination of creamy peanut butter, rich chocolate, and a little crunch from the cookies. Whether you’re making them for a party, gifting them, or just treating yourself, they are sure to be a hit!
