Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
- Ready In:
- 2hrs 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
40 candies
ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 3⁄4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 16 ounces semisweet chocolate or 16 ounces bittersweet chocolate
directions
- In a bowl stir together the brown sugar, 1/2 stick of butter, the graham cracker crumbs, and the peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and chill the mixture, covered, for 1 hour, or until it is firm enough to form into balls.
- Form teaspoonfuls of the mixture into balls and transfer the balls as they are formed to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper- chill well or freeze until firm (makes dipping a lot easier).
- In a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate, stirring until smooth, and let the chocolate cool.
- Dip the balls into the chocolate mixture with a fork, coating them well and letting the excess drip off, transfer them as they are coated to the baking sheet, and chill them, covered loosely, for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- (The balls may be double-dipped if desired.).

Oh my goodness, thank you for posting this recipe. I couldn't get the chocolate part to work right; it melted, then it got hard as a brick. So I just put them in the fridge as they were. Good grief, these things are addicting. I'm going to try the chocolate again, next time I make them, and use a different kind. These have incredible peanut butter taste.
