Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.3333 cup Dried cherries (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Crushed graham crackers
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (or shortening)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, crushed graham crackers, dried cherries, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients form a cohesive dough-like consistency.
Step 2
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 3
Once all the balls are rolled, place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up the balls.
Step 4
While the balls are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and completely melted.
Step 5
Remove the chilled peanut butter balls from the freezer. Using a fork or a skewer, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off any excess chocolate and place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6
Once all the balls are coated, let them cool at room temperature until the chocolate sets, or refrigerate for quicker results.
Step 7
Serve and enjoy! These Cherry Peanut Butter Balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
