Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 cup (85g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1.5 cups (255g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) coconut oil

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and aerated.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar one cup at a time, mixing on low speed until a thick, pliable dough forms.
  3. Fold in the graham cracker crumbs by hand using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  4. Scoop 1-tablespoon portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form smooth spheres. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes. This ensures the balls are firm enough to dip without melting into the warm chocolate.
  6. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the coating is glossy and fluid.
  7. Using a fork, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the chocolate. Tap the fork against the side of the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off before returning the ball to the parchment paper.
  8. Refrigerate the completed balls for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate coating has fully set and provides a firm snap.
