With a few, simple ingredients - these tasty treats come together in a matter of minutes. Full of that smooth, creamy peanut butter flavor, these balls are a combination of delicious decadence and roasted nuttiness that kids and adults will be clamoring for - only you know that you didn't spend hours creating this dessert.
8 oz. peanut butter sandwich cookies, crushed ($.49 - after coupons)
2 oz. fat free cream cheese ($.25)
6 T. peanut butter, divided ($.10 - from $.29 jar of peanut butter after coupons)
4 squares almond bark ($.10 - from holiday mark down at Target last year)
Mix 3 T. peanut butter with cream cheese, stir in cookie crumbs (must be very finely crushed). Mix together until a soft dough forms. Add additional cream cheese if needed.
Chill dough 30 minutes.
Place almond bark in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high in 45 second intervals until bark is smooth and creamy. Add remaining peanut butter and stir to combine.
