Easy Peanut Butter Graham Balls

Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 30
• 1 1/2 cups peanut butter (use only smooth peanut butter)
• 1 cup melted butter or 1 cup margarine
• 4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 1/3 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons crisco shortening

Recipe

• 1 in a bowl combine the peanut butter with confectioners sugar and graham crumbs until well combined.
• 2 add in the melted butter and mix thoroughly until combined (i find that using my hands for mixing works better than a spoon, if the mixture is not holding together add in a little more melted butter).
• 3 using hands shape into small balls (about 1-inch).
• 4 place the balls on a plate and refrigerate until completely cold (about 2 hours).
• 5 after the balls have chilled i like to re-roll them again to make a perfect shaped ball but that is optional.
• 6 in the microwave melt the chocolate with the shortening until smooth, removing once and stirring.
• 7 dip the cold balls into the chocolate mixture to coat.
• 8 place on a baking sheet lined with parchment or waxed paper to set.
