Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups peanut butter
  • 1 cup butter
  • 4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1.3333333730698 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon shortening

Method
 

  1. Mix together peanut butter, butter or margarine, confectioners' sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. Shape into 1 inch balls and place in the freezer for 15 to 30 minutes, until firm.
  2. Place chocolate and shortening in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove peanut butter balls from the freezer and dip each ball into the chocolate mixture one at a time, using a toothpick to skewer the ball and cover all sides in chocolate. Remove ball from chocolate and place on a cookie sheet or tray lined with waxed paper. Repeat with remaining balls.
