Make these simple Buckeye Graham Crackers. This no-bake dessert combines creamy peanut butter filling between crunchy graham crackers, all dipped in rich chocolate. It is a quick, crowd-pleasing treat perfect for parties or simple snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 24 whole graham crackers
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening (or coconut oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peanut butter filling: In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  2. Assemble the crackers: Take one graham cracker square. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture evenly over the top surface. Place a second graham cracker square on top, pressing gently to create a sandwich.
  3. Cut the sandwiches: Cut each graham cracker sandwich in half diagonally to form two triangles. You should have 48 triangles total.
  4. Chill the peanut butter centers: Place the peanut butter graham cracker sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up the filling. This step is key for clean dipping.
  5. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
  6. Dip the crackers: Remove the chilled crackers from the freezer. Dip each cracker into the melted chocolate, leaving a small border of the peanut butter layer exposed at the top, mimicking the look of a classic Buckeye candy.
  7. Set the chocolate: Place the dipped crackers back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Final set: Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely firm.
  9. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a faster set time, place the dipped crackers in the freezer for 10 minutes instead of the refrigerator.
  • If you want a thinner chocolate coating, add a teaspoon more shortening to your melted chocolate.
  • These are excellent for making ahead; they keep well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
