Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup salted peanuts (roughly chopped)
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and crushed graham crackers.
Stir the mixture together until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
Add the vanilla extract and milk, and continue to mix until the dough is smooth and pliable. If the mixture feels too dry, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a log shape approximately 3–4 inches long.
Spread the chopped salted peanuts onto a clean surface or plate.
Roll each log in the chopped peanuts, pressing gently to ensure the nuts stick evenly to the surface.
Once all the logs are coated, transfer them to an airtight container lined with wax paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Serve chilled and enjoy! Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
