Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable shortening
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. Mix thoroughly until a smooth and uniform dough is formed.
Step 2
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and vegetable shortening together in 15- to 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth and glossy.
Step 4
Using a toothpick or fork, dip each chilled peanut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated bonbon back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 5
Once all the bonbons are coated, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Step 6
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
