Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package graham crackers (about 10 sheets)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Lay the graham crackers flat on a large baking sheet or plate, creating a single layer to form the base for the treats.
- Make the peanut butter filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
- Assemble the treats: Spread a layer of the peanut butter mixture over each graham cracker. You can either spread it over the entire cracker or use a spoon to create a small mound in the center.
- Chill the crackers: Place the graham cracker pieces in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the peanut butter mixture to firm up.
- Melt the chocolate: While the peanut butter layer is setting, melt the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Dip and coat: Once the peanut butter layer is set, dip the top of each cracker into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. You can also drizzle chocolate over the top if you prefer.
- Chill again: Place the dipped crackers back in the refrigerator for an additional 20-30 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
- Serve: Once the chocolate is set, cut into bite-sized pieces or serve as whole treats. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can use milk chocolate chips if you prefer a sweeter coating.
- For a more decadent version, drizzle a bit of extra peanut butter on top of the chocolate coating before refrigerating.
- These treats are best stored in the fridge, where they will keep for up to a week.
