2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups graham crackers crush until fine in a food processor, or purchase this already crushed in a box
24 oz peanut butter any kind, I prefer Jiff or Skippy Creamy
1/4 lb. butter soft (1 stick)
1-2 lbs. melting chocolate I prefer Ambrosia milk chocolate or you can use chocolate chips

Mix together the powdered sugar, crushed graham cracker, peanut butter, and softened butter. Hint: you can mix the powdered sugar, crushed graham cracker, and softened butter first by use a food processor or a pastry cutter to help mix the ingredients thoroughly. Then add the peanut butter and mix it with a sturdy spoon.
Chill about 1 hour until firm. (it will still be easy to work with). Kind of semi-firm. (I like to put the peanut butter filling in a plastic container to chill).
Melt chocolate in microwave safe bowl 1 minute at a time stirring in between. Normally 2-3 minutes total.
Make small balls with the peanut butter mixture (I normally use a very small cookie scoop for nice even balls and to make them faster). Hint: when scooping the mixture, don't just dig deep into the mixture as you might break your scoop. Instead, I kind of scrape the scoop over the mixture a few times to get the scoop full.
I drop the balls into the melted chocolate and scoop them out using a teaspoon. I put them on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet.
Cool until the chocolate hardens. Enjoy (I put my on a box in the garage until firm). When I made these in November and December, the weather is cool enough to do the job.
