This is a delicious creamy peanut butter chocolate recipe with graham cracker crumbs.
Make them right away and enjoy. This recipe gives about 3 dozen.
Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup finely ground graham cracker crumbs
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
Directions:
Combine peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, and confectioners’ sugar in a bowl or a food processor until smooth. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Roll teaspoonfuls of peanut butter mixture into balls. Refrigerate until ready to dip in melted chocolate.
Melt chocolate chips and shortening together in the top of a double boiler until very liquid. Using a fork or a skewer, dip each ball into chocolate leaving just the very top of the ball exposed. Set on a greased cookie sheet, setting each ball on the peanut butter end. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm.
