Peanut Butter "Cheese Ball"

There is almost no better combination than peanut butter and chocolate. There's just something about the way that the flavors go together that is so fantastic. This dessert version of a cheese ball takes that classic pairing of peanut butter and chocolate, and takes it to a whole new level. You can probably serve this with just about anything, but I can guarantee you that Honeycrisp apple slices and cinnamon graham cracker sticks are some good options.
