Clodhopper Candy

Here’s a classic, crunchy, chocolatey Clodhopper Candy recipe—easy to make and perfect for a sweet treat.

Ingredients (makes about 24 candies)

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 6 sheets)

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• ½ cup creamy peanut butter

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

• 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

1. Prepare the base:

   • In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and peanut butter until well combined.

   • The mixture should be firm but pliable.

2. Shape the candies:

   • Using your hands, form small rectangular or square “clodhoppers,” about 1–1.5 inches each.

   • Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

3. Melt the chocolate coating:

   • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and butter.

   • Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.

4. Coat the candies:

   • Dip each peanut butter-graham square into the melted chocolate, fully covering it.

   • Use a fork to lift out, letting excess chocolate drip off.

   • Place back on parchment paper to set.

5. Chill:

   • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until chocolate is firm.

6. Serve:

   • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

💡 Tips:

• For a crunchy texture, lightly toast the graham cracker crumbs before mixing.

• You can drizzle white chocolate over the top for a decorative touch.

• These candies freeze well—just separate layers with parchment paper.
