- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (for melting the chocolate)

Instructions
- Prepare the Voodoo Balls Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.
- Stir the mixture until well combined and smooth. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more peanut butter to bring it together.
- Shape the Voodoo Balls:
- Using your hands, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll them into balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely smooth and melted.
- Coat the Voodoo Balls:
- Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely.
- Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill and Set:
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30-60 minutes or until the chocolate coating is fully set and hardened.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Optional: Decorate the Voodoo Balls with candy eyes or sprinkles for an extra spooky touch.
- Serve chilled and enjoy these delicious, no-bake Voodoo Balls!
Notes
- For a spicier version, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or cinnamon to the peanut butter mixture.
- If you don’t have coconut oil, you can substitute it with vegetable oil or even butter for the chocolate coating.
