Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1.25 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 15 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips for melting
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter and softened butter. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs to the peanut butter mixture. Mix until a thick dough forms.
- Using a small cookie scoop (about 1 tablespoon), portion the dough and roll it into balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill the peanut butter balls.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 25-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to help coat. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- If desired, drizzle any remaining melted chocolate over the tops of the peanut butter balls.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely before storing the peanut butter balls.
Notes
These peanut butter balls are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
