Ingredients

• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Crushed graham crackers
• 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.

Step 2

Gradually add in the powdered sugar and crushed graham crackers. Stir until the mixture is thick and forms a firm dough-like consistency.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch.

Step 5

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips. Heat the chips in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth. If using, stir in the coconut oil to thin out the chocolate and make it easier to coat the balls.

Step 6

Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 7

Once all the balls are coated, refrigerate them for another 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.

Step 8

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
