Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • Graham crackers – enough to serve as the base (quantity depending on serving size)

Peanut Butter Mixture

  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup softened butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup chocolate chips or melting chocolate

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup smooth peanut butter, 1/4 cup softened butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the mixture is thick, smooth, and spreadable. This luscious filling forms the heart of your No-Bake Buckeye Graham Crackers.
  2. Assemble the Graham Cracker Base: Lay out your graham cracker squares in a single layer on a clean surface or tray, getting ready to spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over each piece.
  3. Spread the Peanut Butter Layer: Using a butter knife or small spatula, carefully spread a generous scoop of the peanut butter mixture onto each graham cracker, covering it completely but not too thickly to avoid overwhelming the cracker’s crispness.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, gently melt your chocolate chips or melting chocolate until smooth and silky, perfect for dipping or drizzling.
  5. Coat or Drizzle the Chocolate: For a coated look, dip each peanut butter-topped graham cracker into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing it back on parchment paper. Alternatively, drizzle the chocolate over the top for a pretty, rustic finish.
  6. Chill Until Set: Place the assembled crackers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the chocolate hardens, locking in that creamy, nutty goodness.

Notes

  • Choose creamy peanut butter for easier spreading and a smoother filling.
  • Do not rush chilling; letting the crackers chill thoroughly ensures the chocolate shell stays intact and crisp.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Adjust sweetness of the peanut butter mixture by tasting before assembly.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
