Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or oat flour)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the Peanut Butter Filling: In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and thick. Add more crumbs if the mixture feels too soft.
- Roll Into Balls: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill the Balls: Freeze for 10–15 minutes to firm up before dipping.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each. Add coconut oil for extra shine.
- Dip the Balls: Remove peanut butter balls from the freezer and dip each one in melted chocolate using a fork. Let excess chocolate drip off, then place back on the tray.
- Set the Chocolate: Chill again for 10 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is firm.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
If the mixture is too sticky, add more powdered sugar or graham crumbs. For a healthier version, use natural peanut butter and dark chocolate. For a crunchy twist, mix in crushed pretzels or chopped peanuts.
