- Ready In:
- 1hr 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
6 dozen
ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup peanut butter, I like to use natural (it just makes them better in my opinion)
- 1 lb powdered sugar
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 24 ounces chocolate chips
- 1⁄2 piece paraffin wax (optional)
directions
- Melt butter, add in peanut butter, powdered sugar and cracker crumbs.
- Mix well.
- Shape into walnut size balls.
- Chill.
- If you are using paraffin, melt it in a double boiler first.
- Melt in chocolate chips and stir until smooth.
- With a tooth pick, tongs or long wooden skewer, dip balls into chocolate.
- Place on wax paper to cool.
- Note: It is optional to melt in 1/2 piece of paraffin with the chocolate. I don't do this and mine always turn out fine. The paraffin makes them shine and the chocolate will harden faster and not melt in your hands.

I followed the recipe exactly as is but the peanut butter mixture turned out to be very soft and runny. i couldn't rolls them into balls. i think it was too much butter and not enough graham crackers. and, when i did manage to roll them into ball, they would melt and become more like a cookie. but the worst part is when i tried to coat them with the chocolate, they meleted and it became a mess. i don't know why it didn't work, can someone please troubleshoot, cuz i love them so much and i want to make them again but i can't figure out why they turned out so gooey

These were so easy and wonderful- I had to stop myself from eating the peanut butter mixture. The only thing I did differently was use corn flake crumbs instead of grahm cracker crumbs. Some of the grocery stores here don't carry them and I didn't feel like making my own. I figured they were for crunch, so the corn flake crumbs worked perfectly, personally I think they probably provide more crunch then the graham cracker crumbs, but I never had it the other way. Anyway, thank you these are going in my Christmas gift boxes.
