Instructions

Mix the Base
In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. -
Chill the Mixture
Scoop the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap. Shape into a ball, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or freeze for 30 minutes) until firm enough to hold shape. -
Roll & Coat
On a plate, mix together the mini chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Unwrap the cheese ball and roll it in the coating, pressing gently to ensure it sticks all around. -
Serve
Place on a serving platter with crackers, pretzels, or fruit. Let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
