Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 ½ cups peanut butter
1 cup butter, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 ⅓ cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon shortening
Directions
Mix together peanut butter, butter or margarine, confectioners' sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. Shape into 1 inch balls and place in the freezer for 15 to 30 minutes, until firm.
Place chocolate and shortening in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
Recipe Tip
Try using coconut oil instead of shortening for a shiny chocolate coating.
Remove peanut butter balls from the freezer and dip each ball into the chocolate mixture one at a time, using a toothpick to skewer the ball and cover all sides in chocolate. Remove ball from chocolate and place on a cookie sheet or tray lined with waxed paper. Repeat with remaining balls.
