π©βπ³ Directions:
Mix the cheesecake base:
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.

Form balls:
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze for 30 minutes to set.

Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) until smooth. Dip each chilled ball into the chocolate, coating evenly. Return to the tray.
Add toppings & chill:
Sprinkle with crushed peanuts or graham crumbs before the chocolate sets. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
Serve & store:
Enjoy chilled! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
