We went over to our friends' house for dinner last night and I made a chocolate cake for dessert. Thanks to the modern convenience of cake mix boxes and icing tubs, it turned out great! However, I had just a little bit of creamy, chocolaty icing leftover. I definitely thought about just getting a spoon and eating it, but in the end, I made it into something new. These are very easy to make and a great chocolate fix. You might want to make them and hide them for yourself.
Chocolate Graham Cracker Balls
Ingredients:
4 Whole Cinnamon Graham Crackers
3 TBSP Chocolate Icing
2 1/2 TBSP Peanut Butter
1 Tsp Powdered Sugar
1 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Powdered Sugar
1. Smash graham crackers into small bits. You don't want to grind them to a powder so your balls have some crunch, but you don't want them too big so they won't hinder you when you're rolling your balls.
2. Mix in 2 of the TBSP of chocolate icing, 2 1/2 TBSP of peanut butter and 1 Tsp of Powdered Sugar.
3. Fill a small pot with water. Place on the stove and place a bowl on top of it. (or if you have one, use a double-boiler). Heat your water and pour your chocolate chops into the bowl. Mix in 1 TBSP of chocolate icing with them. Heat water until your chocolate becomes a large, soft ball. Make sure you stir constantly so your chocolate won't burn.
4. After chocolate melts, pour into graham cracker mixture. Mix until smooth. Roll chocolate mixture into small balls. Roll these balls into powdered sugar. This recipe will make 12 to 15 balls. Place in refrigerator until ready to eat.
