INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 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.
