Ingredients you will need
How to make the Peanut Butter Filling
Step 1: Place the Graham Crackers into a Ziploc bag and crush them into crumbs. (Or you can use the food processor.) The crumbs should be pretty fine.
Step 2: Add the Graham Cracker crumbs, Peanut Butter, Powdered Sugar, and Butter into a bowl.
Step 3: Mix the ingredients well with a spoon.
Step 4: Scoop out a piece of the mixture. We weighed the Peanut Butter filling so all of our peanut butter balls would be the same size. Roll into a ball and place them on a lined cookie sheet. Put the candy balls into the freezer for at least an hour.
How to Cover in Chocolate
Step 5: Melt the chocolate in a bowl big enough to dip the peanut butter balls. Melt according to package directions.
Step 6: Remove the candy balls from the freezer.
Step 7: Use a fork to dip the peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate.
Step 8: Once completely covered with chocolate, place the peanut butter ball back onto the cookie sheet and allow the chocolate to set back up.
Step 9: Use the leftover chocolate in my bowl to create a zig-zag decoration on top of the Peanut Butter Balls. Spoon some of the chocolate into a Ziploc bag.
Step 10: Reheat the chocolate for a few seconds in the microwave so that it melts and made a small cut in the corner of the bag.
Step 11: Add a squiggle of chocolate to the top of each Candy Ball and allow the chocolate to setup again.
How to make a Holiday Version
To make a more festive version of these yummy Peanut Butter Balls, top with colored sprinkles immediately after dipping them in chocolate. These fun homemade peanut butter candies would be great for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter or for a Birthday Party!
