Description
Make these easy, no-bake treats that combine creamy peanut butter filling with crunchy graham crackers, all dipped in chocolate for a simple dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 box (about 14 ounces) graham crackers, whole sheets
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon shortening or coconut oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This is your peanut butter filling.
- Take one graham cracker sheet and spread a generous layer of the peanut butter mixture on top.
- Place a second graham cracker sheet directly on top of the filling to create a sandwich. Gently press down.
- Repeat this process until all the filling is used, creating graham cracker sandwiches.
- Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm up the filling.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and shortening or coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the chilled sandwiches from the freezer. Dip each sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the chocolate-dipped sandwiches back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
- Refrigerate the Buckeye Graham Crackers for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
Notes
- For a cleaner dip, use a fork to lower the sandwich into the chocolate and then lift it out, tapping the fork gently on the side of the bowl to remove extra chocolate.
- You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet, depending on your preference.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
