Ingredients

• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Butter, softened
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Shortening

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and form a dough-like consistency.

Step 2

Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Once all the balls are formed, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the peanut butter balls to firm up.

Step 4

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Step 5

Using a fork or toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

Step 6

Place the coated peanut butter balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, drizzle any remaining chocolate over them for decoration.

Step 7

Refrigerate the chocolate-coated peanut butter balls for about 1 hour, or until the chocolate is fully set.

Step 8

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
