Make simple, no-bake peanut butter and chocolate sandwiches using graham crackers, mimicking the flavor of buckeye candy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 box graham crackers
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons shortening or coconut oil

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This is your peanut butter filling.
  2. Take one graham cracker square and spread a generous layer of the peanut butter filling on top.
  3. Place a second graham cracker square on top to form a sandwich. Gently press the edges together.
  4. Repeat this process until all graham crackers are used, creating several sandwiches.
  5. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and shortening (or coconut oil). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is smooth.
  7. Remove the frozen sandwiches from the freezer. Dip each sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate, leaving a small portion of the cracker visible, similar to a traditional buckeye candy.
  8. Place the dipped sandwiches back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate coating is completely set.

Notes

  • If you prefer a firmer filling, chill the peanut butter mixture for 15 minutes before assembling the sandwiches.
  • For a cleaner dip, use a toothpick inserted into the side of the sandwich to hold it while dipping, then remove the toothpick and smooth the hole with a small amount of extra melted chocolate.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate with milk chocolate or dark chocolate based on your preference.
