Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

First, using your mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the peanut butter and softened cream cheese. Add the graham cracker crumbs and mix for just a few seconds until combined well.

Next, add the powdered sugar and melted butter. Mix slowly until it starts to combine, then speed up the mixer and get it mixed thoroughly. When finished, the mixture will be a little stiff and dry-looking.

In the palm of your hand, take a tablespoonful of the mixture and roll it softly into a ball. It should stick together and form well. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

In a double boiler, melt the chocolate until it is completely smooth and ready for dipping. You’ll want it nice and warm so you can really get the peanut butter balls coated easily.

With a toothpick, poke the side of the peanut butter ball and dip or roll the ball around in the chocolate. Place back on parchment paper, making sure that chocolate is not touching.

After all the balls have been dipped, place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
