Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smooth coating)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully mixed and smooth. The mixture should be thick but malleable. - Form the Balls:
Roll the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all the balls are formed, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up. - Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. - Coat the Peanut Butter Balls:
Once the peanut butter balls have chilled, dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating them completely. Use a fork or a toothpick to dip the balls, then place them back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. - Let the Chocolate Set:
Refrigerate the chocolate-coated peanut butter balls for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once the chocolate has hardened, your Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls are ready to enjoy! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- You can roll the peanut butter balls in chopped nuts, sprinkles, or crushed pretzels for extra texture and flavor.
- For a festive touch, drizzle additional melted chocolate over the top of each ball after dipping.
- If you prefer dark chocolate, you can swap the semisweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips.
