Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.3333 cup Dried cherries (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Crushed graham crackers
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (or shortening)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, crushed graham crackers, dried cherries, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients form a cohesive dough-like consistency.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Once all the balls are rolled, place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up the balls.
While the balls are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and completely melted.
Remove the chilled peanut butter balls from the freezer. Using a fork or a skewer, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off any excess chocolate and place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all the balls are coated, let them cool at room temperature until the chocolate sets, or refrigerate for quicker results.
Serve and enjoy! These Cherry Peanut Butter Balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
