1 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions

- Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands.
- For added texture and flavor, roll the balls in mini chocolate chips or chopped peanuts.

Notes
For a different flavor, you can swap peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter.
If you prefer a sweeter taste, add a little more powdered sugar.
Try dipping the balls in melted chocolate for a festive touch or drizzling chocolate on top.
You can also use crushed pretzels instead of graham cracker crumbs for a salty twist.
