FAQs
Can I use almond butter instead of peanut butter?
Yes, almond butter works well and gives a slightly different but delicious flavor while keeping the same creamy texture.
What type of chocolate is best for dipping?
Semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips melt well and have a nice balance of sweetness to complement the peanut butter. Dark chocolate can be used for a richer taste.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 12 graham crackers
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Crackers: Lay out the graham crackers in pairs on a flat surface. Spread about one tablespoon of creamy peanut butter evenly on the flat side of one cracker per pair, then sandwich with the other cracker to form a sandwich.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the semisweet chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Dip the Sandwiches: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each peanut butter graham cracker sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate, covering the edges and part of the surface. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Set the Buckeyes: Place the dipped sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for easy spreading and smooth texture.
- For a festive touch, sprinkle crushed peanuts or sea salt on the chocolate before it sets.
