The Best Peanut Butter Ball with Heath Toffee

This peanut butter ball is a family favorite that I always enjoy making during the fall season. It’s my cousin Sarah’s recipe, and it’s one of those easy appetizers that works for just about any occasion. With creamy peanut butter, cream cheese, and bits of Heath candy bar, it’s a sweet and delicious dip that everyone enjoys.

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that you can make it ahead of time. Just refrigerate it overnight, roll it in chopped peanuts before serving, and surround it with your favorite dippers!
