These Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls are like the ones you remember from your childhood – sweet, creamy, and decadent!

This weekend we celebrated our baby girl’s birthday and enjoyed spending time with family. We also spent time together making some delicious holiday treats including one of my personal favorites – Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls.

When the holiday season arrives, I find myself getting into a baking and cooking mood. These Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls is one of my favorite recipes during this time of year because it’s the perfect treat that isn’t the traditional holiday cookie, but it also makes a delicious gift for friends and family.

This recipe combines graham crackers and creamy peanut butter to create a delicious pairing, especially when it’s all dipped in chocolate!

These yummy treats are like the ones you remember from your childhood – sweet, creamy, and decadent. Make a big batch to keep and to share!

Have your little ones help you make them, they are very easy to put together and you’ll also be making lasting memories in the kitchen.

These will become a favorite of your family for not only the holiday season but the entire year!
