Original Recipe Yield 3 dozen
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon shortening

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Stir in graham cracker crumbs until well blended. Form the dough into 1 inch balls by rolling in your hands, or by using a cookie scoop.
  2. Melt the semisweet chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate squares, and the shortening in the top half of a double boiler. Use a fork to dip the balls into the melted chocolate, and place on wax paper to cool until set.
