Peanut Butter Filling
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Assembly
- 1 sleeve (9 sheets) graham crackers, broken in half
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (for smooth melting)
- Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, thick, and spreadable.
- Assemble the Graham Sandwiches: Break each graham cracker sheet in half to create squares. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture onto one half of the cracker, then top with another graham cracker half to form a sandwich. Place each sandwich on a parchment-lined tray as you assemble them.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips combined with the coconut oil or butter. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring between each until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip or Drizzle: Dip each peanut butter sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate, or alternatively, use a spoon to drizzle the chocolate over the top of each sandwich. Return the dipped sandwiches to the parchment-lined tray and, if desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top to enhance flavor.
- Chill Until Set: Refrigerate the tray for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is firm and set. Once chilled, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- For a firmer filling, chill the peanut butter mixture before assembling.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
- Use dark chocolate chips for a richer chocolate taste.
- Store these treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate from melting.
- Optional sea salt adds a nice contrast to the sweetness—don’t skip it if you enjoy sweet and salty combinations.
