- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions

Prepare the Graham Cracker Base:

Prepare the Chocolate Topping:

- Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each.
-
Assemble the Buckeyes:
- Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, spreading it out evenly to cover the crackers completely.

Chill to Set:

Serve:
