Ingredients
- 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 12-oz bag of chocolate chips
Directions
- In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham crackers, and salt until well combined.
- Melt the chocolate either with a chocolate melting pot or in the microwave in a medium size bowl. If using the microwave, cook for 30 seconds and stir. Add more time if needed until the chocolate is melted.
- Line a 12-cup muffin tray with cupcake liners and fill each one with ½ tablespoon of melted chocolate. Spread the chocolate around to cover the bottom of the liner. Place the tray in the fridge for a few minutes to let them set. Doing this prevents the peanut butter filling from sinking to the bottom of the chocolate.
- Place a tablespoon of the peanut butter filling on top of the chocolate, spreading it around to form a circle and then slightly pushing it down into the chocolate. Top the peanut butter with another ½ tablespoon of melted chocolate. Smooth out the top and make sure it completely covers the peanut butter underneath.
- Refrigerate for an hour or until the chocolate has hardened. You can enjoy them cold or at room temperature. Enjoy!
