Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (120 g) graham cracker crumbs
- 1 1/2 cups (180 g) powdered sugar
Binding and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (28 g) butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Coating Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 g) white chocolate bark or white chocolate bar or chips
- Holiday sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly blend peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract until achieving a uniform, glossy consistency that promises delectable results.
- Incorporate powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs gradually, transforming the mixture from a crumbly texture into a cohesive, pliable dough that holds together effortlessly.
- Utilizing clean palms, craft uniform spherical portions approximately one tablespoon in size, ensuring smooth, compact formations. If mixture feels excessively tacky, briefly refrigerate for 10 minutes to enhance malleability.
- Arrange the spheres on a parchment-lined tray, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to solidify their structure and prepare for chocolate coating.
- Melt white chocolate bark in microwave-safe container, heating in precise 30-second intervals and stirring between each session. Aim for a silky, uniform liquid consistency, gently stirring any remaining solid fragments until completely dissolved.
- Delicately immerse each chilled sphere into melted white chocolate using a fork or toothpick, allowing excess coating to drip off. Position coated balls back onto parchment, immediately adorning with optional sprinkles before chocolate solidifies.
- For an elegant finish, artfully drizzle additional melted white chocolate across the surface of each confection. Return to refrigeration for minimum 15 minutes, permitting complete chocolate solidification and achieving a pristine, frosty appearance.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the powdered sugar quantity to suit personal taste preferences.
- Ensure butter and peanut butter are at room temperature for smoother mixing and easier dough formation.
- Opt for natural peanut butter to reduce added sugars and create a more wholesome treat.
