Make these simple Buckeye Graham Crackers for a quick, no-bake dessert that combines creamy peanut butter filling between crunchy graham crackers, all dipped in rich chocolate. This recipe is perfect for parties or a fast sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 full graham crackers
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons shortening or coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peanut butter filling: In a medium bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Assemble the sandwiches: Place one graham cracker flat side up. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture evenly over the graham cracker. Top with a second graham cracker, pressing gently to form a sandwich. Repeat until you have 12 sandwiches.
  3. Chill the sandwiches: Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Put the sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes to allow the filling to firm up slightly.
  4. Melt the chocolate coating: Combine the chocolate chips and shortening (or coconut oil) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. This creates a good dipping consistency.
  5. Dip the crackers: Remove the chilled sandwiches from the freezer. Dip each sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Alternatively, you can drizzle the chocolate over the top half of the cracker.
  6. Set the chocolate: Return the dipped crackers to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Let them sit at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes until the chocolate sets completely.
  7. Serve or store: Serve immediately or store the finished Buckeye Graham Crackers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a classic Buckeye look, leave a small circle of the peanut butter filling exposed on the top of the chocolate dip.
  • If you prefer a thinner chocolate coating, add a little more shortening or oil to the melted chocolate.
  • You can make these ahead of time; they store well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
