Instructions
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.
