Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine 1 cup smooth peanut butter, 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup corn syrup. Stir until the mixture is smooth and holds together like a dough.
  • Scoop or pinch off portions and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a waxed-paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Place 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15–20 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth (or melt the chips in a double boiler over simmering water).
  • To finish: either drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter balls and immediately sprinkle with sprinkles (optional), or omit the chocolate and roll each ball in sprinkles to coat.
  • Transfer the finished peanut butter balls to a covered container and refrigerate until firm (about 30 minutes) before serving. Store refrigerated.
