Instructions:

Crush the Graham Crackers:
Start by placing your graham crackers into a ziplock bag. Use a rolling pin or a similar tool to finely crush the crackers into crumbs. The finer the crumbs, the better your peanut butter balls will hold together. -
Mix Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with the peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated. To help bind the dry ingredients together, drizzle in just enough chocolate syrup to make the mixture stick together. -
Melt the Chocolate:
For the best flavor, melt the white chocolate. You can do this in the microwave by heating the chocolate in 45-second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, use your preferred method for melting chocolate. -
Form the Balls:
Scoop out spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture and roll them into small balls with your hands. Make them bite-sized, roughly the size of a walnut. -
Dip in Chocolate:
Once the peanut butter balls are shaped, dip each one into the melted white chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. You can use a fork or spoon to handle the balls to avoid mess. -
Set in the Refrigerator:
Place each coated peanut butter ball on a piece of wax paper. Once all the balls are dipped, place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the white chocolate has hardened, your Peanut Butter Balls are ready to serve! These are perfect for sharing at parties, as a quick snack, or as a homemade treat.
Tips for Success:
- You can switch up the chocolate coating by using milk chocolate or dark chocolate for a different flavor profile.
- For a festive touch, you can add sprinkles, crushed nuts, or coconut flakes on top of the chocolate coating before refrigerating.
- Store these Peanut Butter Balls in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh for up to a week.
Enjoy these easy, decadent treats with family and friends!
