Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini m&m's Christmas mix

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, or use a hand-held blender, combine the butter, cream cheese, and peanut butter. Cream together until light in color and combined.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract and brown sugar. Beat to combine. 
  • Add the powdered sugar, quick oats, mini chocolate, chips, and 1/3 cup of the m&m's. Mix together until combined. 
  • Use a spatula or your hands and form it into a ball. The dough is not sticky and will form easily. Place the cheeseball on the serving plate and gently press the remaining m&m's onto the top and sides.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let refrigerate for 1-2 hours. You can also serve it right away too, but it will be soft. I like it best refrigerated. The dip is firm immediately from the fridge, but as it sits at room temperature it will soften it up making it easy to dip. 
  • Serve with your favorite dippers; pretzels, nutter butter cookies, nilla wafers, etc.
