Peanut Butter Graham Cracker Balls

 
 
Peanut Butter Graham Cracker Balls

Original Recipe: http://blog.babygizmo.com/2012/06/peanut-butter-graham-cracker-balls/

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup peanut butter (I used crunchy)
  • 1 1/2 cups graham crackers crumbs
  • ¾ cup mini chocolate chips or Heath bits
  • 1 – 1 ¼ cup chocolate (I used semi-sweet chocolate)


Directions:
  1. Take your graham crackers and blend to crumbs in a food processor until you get 1 ½ cups. Add graham crackers crumbs to the 1 cup of peanut butter. Mix it up good. You want the mixture to be dry enough to be able to form balls. Add a little bit more peanut butter or cracker crumbs to achieve this consistency if need be.
  2. Form 24 even sized balls with your hands and place on a wax paper covered plate, cutting board or baking sheet. Freeze for 30-60 minutes.
  3. Melt the chocolate in the microwave until just melted (do not overcook!) or use a double boiler and stir chocolate until melted. Placed mini chips or crushed Heath bits in a small bowl. Note: You can use whatever topping that you would like including nuts, crushed Oreo…etc.
  4. Using a toothpick or fork dip the peanut butter balls in the melted chocolate, one at a time, and then toss in the topping until covered. Refrigerate or freeze until firm.
