EASY PEANUT BUTTER GRAHAM BALLS
This recipe goes back a long time, it is easy to make and one of my son's favorites! Use only smooth peanut butter or the balls will not hold together, these are even great without the chocolate coating, plan ahead the peanut butter balls need to chill for a few hours before coating in chocolate, cooking time is chilling time.

Steps:
- In a bowl combine the peanut butter with confectioners sugar and graham crumbs until well combined.
- Add in the melted butter and mix thoroughly until combined (I find that using my hands for mixing works better than a spoon, if the mixture is not holding together add in a little more melted butter).
- Using hands shape into small balls (about 1-inch).
- Place the balls on a plate and refrigerate until completely cold (about 2 hours).
- After the balls have chilled I like to re-roll them again to make a perfect shaped ball but that is optional.
- In the microwave melt the chocolate with the shortening until smooth, removing once and stirring.
- Dip the COLD balls into the chocolate mixture to coat.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment or waxed paper to set.

Steps:
- 1. Line large cookie sheet with "wax paper" Mix all ingredients (except Chocolate) together in large bowl with your hands (This is messy, but the best way) After the mixture comes together, start rolling 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheet and put in freezer for about 20 min. ( Makes about 45-55)
- 2. After 20 mins take out peanut butter balls, in a medium glass bowl melt chocolate in microwave. (I use 25 second intervals until chocolate is melted) Usually about 1- 1 1/2mins. Give it a quick stir and start dipping P/B Balls "using a toothpick" working at a fast pace, as the chocolate will cool off fast. Place back on cookie sheet a let cool for about 25 mins. Enjoy!!
Tips:
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth and creamy texture.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a little milk or honey.
- If the mixture is too wet, add more peanut butter or oats.
- Chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes before forming into balls.
- Roll the balls in powdered sugar, chopped nuts, or sprinkles.
- Store the peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
