Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

- Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or a toothpick, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for another 15 minutes to set the chocolate coating.
