Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup white chocolate chips
- 5 drops red food coloring
- 2 drops black food coloring
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and corn syrup. Stir until a smooth and pliable dough forms.
Roll pieces of the dough into thin worm-like shapes, approximately 3 to 4 inches long.
Place the worms on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
While the worms chill, melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth.
Dip each peanut butter worm into the melted milk chocolate, coating it completely. Return the coated worms to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Melt the white chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl using the same 30-second interval method. Add a few drops of red and black food coloring to form a dark pink or reddish-brown color for a slightly spooky effect. Drizzle this mixture over the coated worms for extra detail.
Let the chocolate coating set at room temperature, or place the worms back in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes until firm.
Once the chocolate is fully set, arrange the worms on a plate or in a container for serving. Keep them stored in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
