Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls Recipe #79500
I adopted this recipe from the RecipeZaar account. I have not had a chance to make this myself.
If you are finding that your chocolate is going to hard, melt in a tbsp (or maybe even less) of shortening. That will make the chocolate stay soft. I got that trick from Recipe #89167.

2¼ hours | 2 hours prep
40 candies
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 16 ounces semisweet chocolate or bittersweet chocolate
- In a bowl stir together the brown sugar, 1/2 stick of butter, the graham cracker crumbs, and the peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and chill the mixture, covered, for 1 hour, or until it is firm enough to form into balls.
- Form teaspoonfuls of the mixture into balls and transfer the balls as they are formed to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper- chill well or freeze until firm (makes dipping a lot easier).
- In a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate, stirring until smooth, and let the chocolate cool.
- Dip the balls into the chocolate mixture with a fork, coating them well and letting the excess drip off, transfer them as they are coated to the baking sheet, and chill them, covered loosely, for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- (The balls may be double-dipped if desired.).
