Ingredients
Scale
Crackers
- Graham crackers, broken in half
Peanut Butter Filling
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (for smooth melting)
Instructions
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth, creamy, thick, but still spreadable.
- Assemble the Graham Sandwiches: Break graham cracker sheets in half to create squares. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture onto one half, and then top with another graham cracker square to form a sandwich. Arrange the sandwiches on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring thoroughly between each until the chocolate is melted completely and smooth.
- Dip or Drizzle: Dip each peanut butter sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate or use a spoon to drizzle the chocolate over the tops. Place the coated sandwiches back on the parchment-lined tray. Optionally, sprinkle some sea salt over the chocolate while still wet.
- Chill Until Set: Refrigerate the tray for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate coating is firm. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- For a smoother chocolate coating, use coconut oil as it helps keep the chocolate glossy and soft.
- Use semi-sweet chocolate for a balanced sweetness, or milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter treat.
- Sprinkling a pinch of sea salt enhances the peanut butter and chocolate flavors perfectly.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate firm and prevent melting.
- These treats are best enjoyed within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
