Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 12 graham crackers, broken in half

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 3 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil (for chocolate)

Peanut Butter Drizzle

  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Graham Crackers: Break each graham cracker sheet in half to create squares. Arrange them on a lined baking sheet and set aside.
  2. Make Peanut Butter Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Form Peanut Butter Balls: Roll the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch sized balls. Place one ball on top of each graham cracker square.
  4. Flatten Peanut Butter Layer: Gently press and flatten each peanut butter ball onto the graham cracker, spreading the peanut butter evenly to cover the surface and reach the edges.
  5. Melt Chocolate for Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in-between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  6. Coat Graham Crackers: Dip each peanut butter topped graham cracker into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place them back onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Melt Peanut Butter Chips for Drizzle: In another microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter chips and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until melted and smooth.
  8. Drizzle and Set: Drizzle the melted peanut butter chips over each chocolate-coated graham cracker. Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate is set, approximately 30 minutes. Enjoy your Buckeye Graham Crackers once firm.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture; crunchy peanut butter may affect the spreadability.
  • If microwave is unavailable, melt chocolate and peanut butter chips over a double boiler.
  • Store Buckeye Graham Crackers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and maintain the chocolate coating.
  • For a darker chocolate flavor, substitute semi-sweet chips with dark chocolate chips.
  • Allow crackers to come to room temperature slightly before serving to enjoy the full flavor and texture.
