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
  • 4 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)

Peanut Butter Drizzle

  • 1 cup peanut butter chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crackers: Break each sheet of graham crackers in half to form squares, and arrange them on a lined baking sheet. Set aside for later use.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
  3. Shape the Filling: Roll the peanut butter mixture into approximately 1-inch balls. Place one ball on each graham cracker square, ensuring even distribution.
  4. Flatten the Filling: Carefully flatten each peanut butter ball onto the surface of the graham crackers, spreading the mixture to cover the edges thoroughly.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  6. Coat the Crackers: Dip or spoon the melted chocolate over each peanut butter topped graham cracker, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off, then transfer back to the lined baking sheet.
  7. Prepare the Peanut Butter Drizzle: In another microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter chips and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Microwave similarly in 30-second intervals with stirring until melted and smooth.
  8. Drizzle and Chill: Drizzle the melted peanut butter chips over the chocolate-coated crackers. Place the tray in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate and drizzle to set firmly before serving.

Notes

  • Use parchment or wax paper to line your baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  • Microwave chocolate in short intervals to avoid burning.
  • Ensure peanut butter and butter are softened to achieve a smooth filling.
  • Store finished Buckeye Graham Crackers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a nuttier flavor, you can substitute creamy peanut butter with natural or chunky peanut butter.
