Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Use smooth for the best texture.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar Confectioners’ sugar.
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs Pulse crackers in a blender or use pre-crumbled.
For the coating
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Use milk or semisweet chocolate.
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil Helps the chocolate coating set shiny.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs until the mixture holds together but isn’t greasy.
  2. Scoop tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 10–15 minutes.
Dipping and Coating
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between, until fully melted and glossy.
  2. Using a fork or dipping tool, submerge each chilled peanut butter ball in the chocolate. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove the excess and return the coated ball to the parchment.
  3. Refrigerate the baking sheet until the chocolate is firm, about 15–30 minutes.
