Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Ball Mixture
- 1½ cups creamy peanut butter
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Chocolate Coating
- 10 ounces chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the creamy peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Form Balls: Using a medium cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons), portion out the peanut butter mixture and roll it between your palms to create evenly sized balls.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate melting wafers in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip Peanut Butter Balls: Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, then place them onto wax paper to set. Optionally, sprinkle the tops with extra graham cracker crumbs for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For easier handling, chill the peanut butter mixture for 30 minutes before scooping and rolling.
- Use a double boiler if you prefer to melt chocolate gently on the stovetop instead of the microwave.
- Store peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can substitute semi-sweet or dark chocolate melting wafers for a different chocolate flavor.
- If the chocolate thickens before dipping all balls, gently reheat it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
