Let’s Get Cooking!

Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine that luscious peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well blended, it should form a thick dough. This step takes just a few minutes, and your kitchen will smell amazing!
Form the Balls
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You might want to wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking. This is where the fun begins! Get the whole family involved, kids love rolling these up!
Freeze the Balls
Place those beautiful little balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about 30 minutes. This makes them much easier to dip later on, plus it makes for a more satisfying bite when they’re nice and chilled.
Melt the Chocolate
While your snowballs are chilling, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or in a double boiler. If using the microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth, don’t rush this part!
Dip the Peanut Butter Balls
Take the frozen peanut butter balls and dip each one into the melted chocolate, making sure they are fully coated. Use a fork to gently lift them out, letting the excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle Time
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your festive decorations on top. This adds that perfect crunch and pop of color.
Let it Set
Allow the chocolate coating to set at room temperature before serving. This will take about 30 minutes. Your kitchen will soon be filled with an incredible aroma trust me, it’s hard to resist!
Enjoy
And there you have it! Your amazing Peanut Butter Snowballs are ready to be devoured. Seriously, be prepared to share (or not) because they’re that good!
