Success Stories
I have brought this Reese’s Cheese Ball to countless potlucks. There has never been a single bite left at the end. One friend told me she made it for her daughter’s bake sale and it sold out in the first hour. Everyone remembers this dessert and asks for the recipe afterwards.
Freezer Meal Conversion
If you want to get ahead for party planning freeze the cheese ball after shaping but before coating. Wrap twice in plastic and once in foil. Thaw in the fridge overnight roll in fresh candy coating and serve as usual for the same creamy texture.

Recipe FAQs
→ How do I get the cheese ball smooth and creamy?
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing. This ensures smooth blending with peanut butter and sugars.
→ What can I use to serve with the peanut butter cheese ball?
Offer graham crackers, pretzels, or cookies for dipping. Sliced apples also work well for a fruity contrast.
→ How long should I chill the cheese ball?
Chill for at least one hour so it firms up and holds its shape, making it easier to coat and serve.
→ Can I make this dessert in advance?
Yes, prepare and chill the cheese ball up to two days ahead. Coat with candies just before serving for freshness.
→ Is it necessary to add crushed peanut butter cups inside and outside?
They’re optional but add extra flavor and texture. You may omit them or substitute with your favorite mix-ins.
