Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 cup butter softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 ¼ cups graham cracker use a zip top bag to easily crush the crackers without a mess, crushed
- 16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate my preference is to use the Ghirardelli Premium Baking Bar Semi-Sweet Chocolate
Instructions
- Use the paddle attachment of your stand mixer and combine the peanut butter and butter in your mixer. Mix on medium speed until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs into the mixing bowl and combine on low speed until the sugar and graham cracker crumbs are evenly mixed in. Please note that the mixture will be thick.
- Use a small cookie scoop to portion out the mixture into about 1 tablespoon amount, roll it into balls, and place it on a large, parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- While they are cooling, in a medium-sized bowl, melt the chocolate in 20-second increments, stirring after each until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Using a fork, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate so that it is fully covered. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off and then place it back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- If needed, use a toothpick to pull away some of the melted chocolate around the bottom of the ball so that the chocolate won’t pool up on the bottom and create a foot, but will be more of a ball.
- Repeat with all of the peanut butter balls.
- Use any extra melted chocolate to drizzle on top of the balls in a zig-zag pattern. Additionally, if you want to add sprinkles or anything else on top, you can do so at this point.
- Allow the chocolate to set before serving or storing, and then enjoy!

Notes
- To store them, place them in an airtight container and ensure the chocolate has been set before placing them in the fridge for a few days. To freeze, place them in a freezer-safe container for a few weeks.
- To serve from frozen, thaw them in the fridge overnight and bring them to room temperature before serving. Make sure the chocolate has fully set before storing.
