Ingredients
  

  • For the snowballs:
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups finely crushed graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • For the coating:
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening for smoother melting
  • For the caramel drizzle:
  • 10 soft caramel candies unwrapped
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream or milk

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Stir in the crushed graham crackers and mini chocolate chips until a soft dough forms.
  3. Scoop and roll into 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill the balls in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  5. While the balls chill, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  6. Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to tap off excess, then return to the lined baking sheet.
  7. In a small bowl, microwave the caramels with the cream or milk in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  8. Drizzle the caramel over the chocolate-coated snowballs using a spoon or fork.
  9. Chill again until set, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
