Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 12 graham crackers
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz semisweet or milk chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peanut butter mixture: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter with 1 cup of powdered sugar until a smooth, thick paste forms. This mixture will serve as the sweet and creamy layer on the graham crackers.
  2. Assemble the crackers: Lay out the graham crackers on a flat surface. Spread a thick, even layer of the peanut butter and powdered sugar mixture onto each cracker, covering them completely.
  3. Dip in melted chocolate: Melt 8 ounces of chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Holding each peanut butter-topped cracker by one edge, dip it into the melted chocolate to coat the peanut butter layer completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  4. Chill the treats: Place the chocolate-dipped crackers on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens and sets. Once chilled, the Buckeye Graham Crackers are ready to serve.

Notes

  • For easier dipping, you can use chocolate chips or a chocolate bar melted gently.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture, but crunchy peanut butter can add a nice crunch.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep chocolate firm and peanut butter fresh.
  • These treats can be customized by using dark chocolate for a richer flavor or white chocolate for a sweeter variation.
  • If you prefer a sweeter snack, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the peanut butter mixture before spreading.
