How to Make Peanut Butter Balls

When I was little, the three things I remember making with my mom at Christmas were icebox fruit cake in the shape of Rudolf (cool to make but not my favorite), Mounds balls dipped in chocolate (yuck, I hate coconut), and peanut butter balls - dipped in chocolate of course. Y.U.M!  So since I have been bragging here is the recipe! 
You will need: 
Peanut butter - Crunchy kind - about 18 oz

Graham Crackers - 
about 1.75 cups

Break them into crumbs: 


2 (yes, 2) sticks of Butter (or margarine, I really don't know the difference) - Melt it down a bit

1lb bag of powdered sugar - yes the entire thing!

You can also add a little vanilla but it's not absolutely necessary. 
Anyway mix it all together: 


Then mush it all together (wash your hands first, and after!)

Then refrigerate for about 20 minutes..  Then roll your balls. This recipe makes about 7 doz

Then freeze them for about 20-30 minutes.  Get some Chocolate Bark (I like the kind that comes with a microwavable tray) and dip the balls in the chocolate!


The end.
