Easy Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Balls

My mom made these peanut butter balls every Christmas when we were growing up.  I always wanted to make them for my kids, but we had a problem stopping us.  As most of ya’ll know, my son was diagnosed with a soy allergy about 3 years ago.  We are so very thankful for finding out the source of his tummy troubles, but now we have the challenge of creating sweets for him with such a limited supply of ingredients that he can use.

I recently have found that Tollhouse Dark Chocolate chips do NOT have soy and same with Annie’s Graham Crackers.  I was so excited to be able to put my own twist on this family favorite recipe.

We put together these Easy Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Balls tonight and they were a hit!  The kids ate several of them right away and the rest we put in the fridge.  They are even more tasty after being refrigerated for a while.

First off, Mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, powdered milk, and chocolate chips.  Add water by tablespoons until it’s combined.  Depending on your brand of peanut butter, you may find that you need more or less water than listed.

Next, have your kiddos mash up some graham crackers.  Thank you Annie’s that my son can enjoy these and S’mores now!!

Last, roll up a small bit of the peanut butter mixture and roll it in the mashed graham crackers.  Put them on a pan lined with wax paper and enjoy or refrigerate for later.
