Peanut Butter Balls

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)

  • 1/4 cup softened butter

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or crushed cereal)

  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips (for coating)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture:

    • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, and powdered sugar.

    • Mix well until smooth and fully combined.

  2. Add the Crumbs:

    • Gradually mix in the graham cracker crumbs (or crushed cereal) until the mixture is thick and holds together.

  3. Shape the Balls:

    • Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.

  4. Freeze:

    • Place the tray in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up the balls.

  5. Coat the Balls:

    • Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, stirring until smooth.

    • Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, covering it completely, and then return it to the tray.

  6. Let Set:

    • Once all the balls are coated, refrigerate them for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.

  7. Enjoy:

    • Once set, these peanut butter balls are ready to enjoy! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
