EASY PEANUT BUTTER GRAHAM BALLS

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.

PEANUT BUTTER GRAHAM BARS

Steps:

• Line the bottom of a greased 11x7-in. dish with half of the graham crackers; set aside. In a 2-qt. microwave-safe bowl, combine the crumbs, sugars, butter and milk. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 45 seconds; stir. Microwave on high 1-1/2 to 2 minutes longer. Immediately pour half over crackers in prepared pan. Top with the remaining graham crackers; spread with remaining sugar mixture., In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips and peanut butter, uncovered, on high for 30-45 seconds or until chips are melted. Stir until smooth and blended. Spread evenly over bars. Cover and refrigerate for 1-1/2 hours before cutting.

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS V

Steps:

• Cream together the butter, vanilla, salt and peanut butter. Stir in 2 cups of the confectioners' sugar, nuts and all but 1/2 cup of the graham cracker crumbs. Add the last 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs only if needed; otherwise it may be difficult to mold the balls.
• Form the mixture by hand into 1 inch balls. Roll each ball in the remaining cup of confectioners' sugar. Set the balls in a single layer on a cookie sheet and refrigerate until firm. At this point the cookies may be dipped in melted chocolate or they can be left plain. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• To Dip Balls In Chocolate: In the top half of a double boiler; melt the chocolate chips and shortening just until the chips are melted. Remove from heat but leave over hot water. Insert a toothpick into the chilled balls and dip into the melted chocolate until coated. Set on waxed paper until hardened.
