Buckeye Graham Crackers
These crunchy graham crackers are topped with a creamy peanut butter layer and dipped in rich chocolate.
recipesbynani.comBuckeye Graham Crackers are such a fun twist on the classic buckeye candy we all love. They have that perfect crunch from the cracker combined with the sweet and salty peanut butter filling that makes them impossible to stop eating.
These are always a hit at parties because they are easy to hold and share. My best tip is to make sure your chocolate is melted completely smooth before dipping so your crackers look nice and professional.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 box graham crackers
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Lay the graham crackers out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- 3
Add the vanilla extract and gradually mix in the powdered sugar until you have a thick, smooth peanut butter dough.
- 4
Spread a generous layer of the peanut butter mixture over each graham cracker and place them in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up.
- 5
Melt the chocolate chips and shortening together in a microwave safe bowl using short intervals, stirring until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
- 6
Dip each chilled graham cracker into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off before placing them back on the parchment paper.
- 7
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the fridge before serving.
💡 Tips
Store these in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate firm and the crackers crisp. They will stay fresh for up to one week if you can manage not to eat them all sooner.
