How To Make Peanut Butter Balls:This Peanut Butter Balls recipe is super simple to make. Just follow the steps below and in the recipe card and you’ll have dozens of them ready in no time at all! Step 1: Begin by adding your graham crackers to a food processor and pulse them into a crumb. You can also buy the graham cracker crumbs in the box at the store for an even simpler prep! If you do not have a food processor, add the graham crackers to a large Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into a fine crumb. Step 2: Once you have the crumb, combine it in a large bowl with the peanut butter and confectioners sugar. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract if you’d like, but you don’t have to. Step 3: Next, you’ll want to use a medium cookie scoop to evenly measure out the peanut butter mixture, then roll between your hands to form 1 inch balls and place on a countertop or baking sheet lined with wax paper. Step 4: Once you’ve prepared all of your balls, add you melting wafers to a small bowl and melt on 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until fully melted. You can also use melted chocolate chips, but I recommend adding a teaspoon of shortening to them if you do 🙂 Step 5: Using a fork or my favorite candy dipping tool, dip the balls in the melted chocolate to fully coat. Let any excess chocolate drip away before placing them back on the wax paper to set at room temperature. Step 6: Sprinkle the tops of the balls with graham cracker crumbs or sprinkles before the chocolate fully sets, if desired. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
