Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and melted butter until smooth. Add vanilla extract and salt, stirring to incorporate.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until fully combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Freeze the formed peanut butter balls for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 1 hour until firm.
- Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
- Working with a few balls at a time (keeping the rest chilled), use a fork to dip each ball into the melted chocolate. Tap the fork gently against the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- Return the chocolate-coated balls to the parchment paper and allow to set completely at room temperature (about 15 minutes) or in the refrigerator (5-10 minutes).
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months.
