I have been making these for years, they are a wonderful treat for any occasion. Just a few little tips i use milk chocolate chips(a personal preference) You can use any cereal, rice crispies, crushed frosted, flakes to add the crunch!! I also have added the rice crispies to the chocolate on occasion and that is also wonderful! Love it thanks for sharing!

I'll admit that at first I wasn't too impressed with this recipe... they are not easy to make! I mean, the actual mixing of the ingredients is super easy, but rolling them into balls and dipping them in the chocolate is NOT FUN!!! I was getting frustrated! I put the dough in the freezer for about 5 minutes, then took it out and rolled the balls until it got too sticky, then put it in the freezer again for about a minute, and so on... until they were all rolled... then i kept them in the fridge overnight, and dipped them in the morning, which was also kind of annoying, but after a while, i decided to dip half of it, then put it upside down on the wax paper so that the chocolate dripped to cover it all, which worked like magic! And let me tell you, the bite that i just had of one just redeemed all of the frustration i felt, because these are amazing! They taste almost exactly like Reese Peanut Butter Cups, minus the plastic-y chocolate on those! DELICIOUS!!! If you have the patience and the time (or a few extra helping hands) I'd definitely make this recipe!!!

Very easy to make, time consuming but well worth the effort. There wasnt enough chocolate to cover all the balls, so I left some of them plain and they still were great. Use milk chocolate chips, they melt better and taste better then semi sweet.

I was looking for a great recipe to bring to a Christmas gathering this year. This was the one that I was searching for! I did use 1/2 almond butter, 1/2 peanut butter and milk chocolate on half of my balls. They were divine. Thanks!

While these were good, I think I like them better without the crushed graham crackers. I, as always, had a hard time melting the chips and they were too clumpy. Not quite sure what I do or do not do that causes this. I have alsi made with rice crispys and liked it better.

These were so great and super easy! Made them as xmas gift for friends & family. I love all of the tips you get by reading the reviews. I was cautious with the graham cracker crumbs--ended up using a little less than 2 cups--and they were great!

This recipe was absolutely delicious. I would make again and again. My hectic work career has prevented me from creating this master piece on a daily basis, but clearly it is of highest quality and truly defies all gastronomy. If you like peanut butter, proceed to the nearest publix and gather the proper ingriedents to fulfill the fantastic recipe that is Peanut Butter Balls V.

OMG! These are SO good! I haven't even dipped them in chocolate yet and they are delicious!A trick for getting them to stick together is to use a food processor to finely grade the nuts and graham crackers. Also, it helps to mold them with your fingers verses rolling them in your palm.Im dipping them in milk chocolate.Thank you so much for this recipe...i just know Im gonna gain 10 pounds! yum yum yum!

this was great! I didn't dip in chocolate, just drizzled white and semi-sweet over top...that way they weren't too rich. definitely a keeper! make sure to use water on hands when rolling balls

These peanut butter balls taste great! However, this is a frustrating recipe to make. The peanut butter sticks to everything and I had a very hard time keeping them in the shape of balls. Maybe if I had added some more crumbs it would have helped, but as it is the pbballs just keep melting & drooping unless I keep them refrigerated.

As good as these were, I found a way to take them to a new level, instead of using graham cracker crumbs, I processed vanilla wafers, they were excellent!

These are the best! They're not sticky once made, hold together perfectly. I enjoyed making these so much, I modified these to create a Hazelnut version. Simply replace the peanut butter with 1 cup Hazelnut butter, and 1 cup of Nutella. Replace the pecans with 1 cup of crushed hazelnuts. Will also need an extra 1/2 cup of butter, and don't need the extra 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs. Once you dip them in chocolate, sprinkle with crushed hazelnuts - Mmmmmmm!

I'm giving this a 4 star because it was a great tasting recipe and we love that it uses ground graham crackers instead of rice crispy's, but in the making the balls were hard to get into a ball with out kind of falling a part a little. (the recipe calls to add only 2 of the 2 1/2 cups to the peanut butter mixture, then add the remaining half cup if needed... I only used the 2 cups, and didn't even add the extra half cup and it was still too dry) I almost added a bit more peanut butter to help that out, but I just proceeded based off of the instructions. The outcome was fabulous! I tried the peanut butter balls with rice crispys and my hubby didn't like them... with the graham cracker, you don't get that crunch and they are more creamy... much better! Next time I make this I think I'll add some extra peanut butter and only use the 2 cups graham crackers for sure! Thank you for the good recipe!!!

This recipe works perfectly; however, I always mix everything in my food processor and I melt whatever chocolate (chips or solid) that I use on the warm setting of my 1.5 qt. crock pot. One more trick, if you plan to make this recipe again and again as I have; spend the few dollars it costs to buy a good, small cookie dough (meatball)scoop and place the p-butter balls in the fridge for a good 30 minutes or more before coating them. I've frozen them up to 3 months with no problem.

These are just a lil piece of heaven! So good! I'm making them for Thanksgiving. I used 2 c crushed Rice Krispies, it gives them a lil crunch like a Nestle Crunch bar. I didnt roll them in powdered sugar (only used the 2 c the recipe calls for). I agree with other users, be careful how big you make them. I'd say 1" max or it's just too much sticky goodness. I will definately be making these again for Christmas.
