{graham cracker pb balls}
These babies are delicious. They remind me of s'mores, minus the marshmallows and add peanut butter. So basically, there's not reason why these should even remind me of s'mores.
My sweetheart and I are looking at moving this year. We aren't exactly sure where yet, but we know we can't stay here! I've already shared that we are trying to cut costs of all of our big, exciting things that we are praying will happen in the next year or so. So nothing is really official yet, and finding out what we want to do could potentially be a really long process, but at least we've realized we have to do something.
As you can tell from the picture's Christmas touches, I'm a little behind in sharing this recipe. I originally was hoping to share it in December, and then I planned to share it before the super bowl {these would be easy to shape into footballs}. But with March Madness coming up, I think you can find a few ideas! Here's where I got the idea.
ingredients.
1 c peanut butter {I use Smucker's all natural}
1 1/2 c graham crackers that are crushed or blended in a processor
1- 1/4 c chocolate
3/4 mini chocolate chips or heath bits for topping {optional, I used graham cracker and whatever else I had on hand}
I.
Add graham crackers to peanut butter. Mix well, it will be crumbly but should be able to form balls. Add more of each ingredient as needed.
II.
Form 24 even sized balls, and place on a wax paper covered flat plate or pan, and freeze for 30-60 minutes.
III.
While they are still in the freezer, melt the chocolate. You can do this in the microwave, but I always make a homemade double boiler, see below. While it's melting, place your toppings in another bowl.
IV.
Once the chocolate is melted, either roll the peanut butter ball around in the chocolate with a fork {like when we made these amazing double chocolate truffles} or use a toothpick and roll the balls round to make sure they are covered.
V.
Dip into the topping, and put in the fridge or freezer to harden! I kept my leftovers in the fridge, too.
{Homemade double boiler: Place a half full or so pot of water on the stove, and place a heat safe bowl over the pot. Make sure that the pot does not fit perfectly. There should be some space to let the steam escape. Keep it on medium-low heat. Don't get in a hurry, you'll burn the chocolate.}
