Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust with more powdered sugar if sticky.
- Incorporate Crumbs: Add graham cracker crumbs and mix until evenly combined into a firm dough.
- Shape the Balls: Roll 1 tablespoon of dough into balls and place on a parchment-lined tray. Repeat until finished.
- Freeze: Freeze the tray for 30–60 minutes to firm up the balls.
- Melt Chocolate: Microwave chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring until melted. Add vegetable oil for smoothness.
- Dip in Chocolate: Use a fork or toothpick to dip frozen balls into melted chocolate. Tap off excess and place back on the tray.
- Set the Coating: Refrigerate the coated balls for 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
