Ingredients
Scale
Crackers
- 1 sleeve graham crackers (about 12 whole crackers)
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Chocolate Coating
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth and well blended, creating a thick, creamy filling.
- Assemble the Crackers: Lay out the graham crackers on a flat surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter filling evenly onto half of the crackers. Top with the remaining crackers to form sandwiches.
- Melt the Chocolate: Gently melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip Crackers in Chocolate: Holding each sandwich cracker, dip it halfway into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place the dipped crackers on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the dipped crackers for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened completely. Serve chilled or at room temperature for a delicious treat.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest filling consistency.
- Ensure the chocolate is not too hot when dipping to avoid melting the peanut butter filling.
- Store buckeye graham crackers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
