Description

This Easy Snickers Cheese Ball is a no-bake dessert dip made with cream cheese, peanut butter, and chopped Snickers bars, coated in salty peanuts and mini chocolate chips, then drizzled with caramel. The ultimate party dessert — ready in 10 minutes of prep and disappears in minutes once served.

Ingredients 

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Snickers bars, about 8 fun-size, divided, chopped
  • 1/2 cup roasted salted peanuts, chopped, divided
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, divided
  • Caramel sauce, for drizzling
  • Graham crackers, pretzels, vanilla wafers, apple slices, for serving,

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until completely smooth, about 1–2 minutes.
  • Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Beat on low until combined, then increase speed to medium for 30 seconds until light and fluffy.
  • Fold in 1 cup chopped Snickers, 1/4 cup peanuts, and 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips. Reserve the rest for coating.
  • Lay two sheets of plastic wrap in a cross pattern on the counter. Scoop the mixture onto the center. Gather and twist the plastic wrap to form a ball.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Combine the remaining 1/2 cup Snickers, 1/4 cup peanuts, and 1/4 cup chocolate chips on a plate. Unwrap the chilled cheese ball and roll/press it into the coating until fully covered.
  • Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle generously with caramel sauce, and serve with graham crackers, pretzels, vanilla wafers, and apple slices.

Notes

Notes

  • Use full-fat block cream cheese for the best texture
  • Chill Snickers bars before chopping for cleaner pieces
  • Coat the cheese ball within 2–3 hours of serving for maximum crunch
  • Make minis for buffets — divide into 2 or 3 smaller balls
