Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sleeve graham crackers (9 sheets)
  • 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter do not use natural, oily kind
  • 0.25 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter

Equipment

  • Medium-sized mixing bowl
  • Parchment-lined tray
  • Microwave-Safe Bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until super smooth and creamy, with no lumps of butter or powdered sugar remaining.
  2. Step 2: Break each large graham cracker sheet in half to create even squares. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture onto one graham cracker half, then gently place another graham cracker half on top, forming a sandwich. Continue until all graham cracker sheets are assembled, placing each finished sandwich neatly on a parchment-lined tray.
  3. Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil (or butter). Microwave in short 20-second bursts, stirring well after each burst, until completely smooth and melted. Be patient to avoid scorching.
  4. Step 4: Dip each graham cracker sandwich halfway into the luscious melted chocolate. Alternatively, if dipping feels messy, use a spoon to generously drizzle melted chocolate over the tops. Carefully return them to the parchment-lined tray.
  5. Step 5: Slide the tray into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This chill time allows the chocolate to firm up nicely and sets the peanut butter mixture, making them perfectly ready to enjoy.

Notes

To keep your Buckeye Graham Crackers fresh and delicious, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or for 2-3 months in the freezer layered with parchment paper. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. For best results, ensure your butter is properly softened before mixing, and melt chocolate gently in short 20-second bursts to prevent scorching. Always use parchment paper on your tray for easy removal and cleanup. The chilling step is crucial for both the chocolate and peanut butter mixture to set properly.
