Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups Graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture on high in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.
Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until a smooth, slightly stiff dough forms.
Add the graham cracker crumbs to the peanut butter mixture and fold until fully combined. The dough should be soft and pliable but not sticky.
On a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper, roll the peanut butter dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick. Use a rolling pin for an even surface.
In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring after each round, until smooth and fully melted.
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the rolled-out peanut butter dough, leaving about 1/2 inch border around the edges.
Allow the chocolate to slightly cool for 1-2 minutes, so it's not excessively runny but still spreadable.
Using the parchment paper to help, carefully roll the dough into a tight log starting from one of the longer edges. Roll slowly to avoid cracking the dough.
Wrap the log tightly in the parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Once firm, remove the parchment paper and use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1/4-inch thick pinwheels.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
