Ingredients
  

  • 1 16 oz. can vanilla frosting
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 8 oz graham crackers
  • 12 oz semisweet baking chocolate
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Combine the vanilla frosting, peanut butter and butter in a large bowl.
  • Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until they become fine crumbs. Stir the graham cracker crumbs into the peanut butter mixture.
  • Using your hands, form 1/2 inch balls out of the peanut butter mixture. Place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Chill in the refrigerator at least 1 hour.
  • In a saucepan over very low heat, melt the chocolate, stirring constantly. Add coconut oil as needed to thin it out. Using a fork, carefully dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off and then place back onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • If decorating, apply the decoration quickly before the chocolate has a chance to set. Place the baking sheet back into the refrigerator to let the chocolate set completely. Store in the refrigerator.
