Making Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
2. Form Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about one inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Chill the Balls: Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
4. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
5. Dip the Balls: Remove the chilled peanut butter balls from the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the ball out and let excess chocolate drip off.
6. Place on Baking Sheet: Return the dipped balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. Chill Again: Place the tray back in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set.
8. Serve: Once the chocolate has hardened, your Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls are ready to enjoy!
