Ingredients
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup room-temperature salted butter
- 8 ounces chocolate melts
- chopped peanuts, or sprinkles for toppings if desired
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix crushed graham crackers, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and butter until smooth. Using a teaspoon-sized scoop, measure the dough and roll it into balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. Using a fork or two spoons, dip the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate, then transfer them back to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle on chopped peanuts or sprinkles if desired.
- Once all the peanut butter balls are chocolate covered, place the sheet back into the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes, or the chocolate is set. Serve and enjoy!
