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
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
Chill:
-
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until chocolate is firm.
-
-
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.
