- 1 package 16 oz Nutter Butter cookies
- 1 package 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 16 oz milk chocolate or milk chocolate coating
- Crushed peanuts for topping
Crush the Nutter Butters: Use a food processor to crush the Nutter Butter cookies into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Mix with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Nutter Butters with the softened cream cheese until well blended.
Form the Bon Bons: Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill: Refrigerate the Nutter Butter balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt the Milk Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
Dip the Bon Bons: Using a fork, dip each Nutter Butter ball into the melted milk chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place back on the parchment paper.
Decorate: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with crushed peanuts.
