Ingredients
18 ounces dry-roasted unsalted peanuts
Peanut oil
1 pound confectioners' sugar
1 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
12 ounces milk chocolate
Additional equipment: 2 cookie sheets, about 50 paper bonbon cups or mini-muffin cups, any
color
Directions
Grind the peanuts in a food processor until smooth. If the mixture seems
too thick and grainy, add peanut oil a little bit at a time by drizzling a thin stream through the feed tube
with the motor running. Puree until smooth and the consistency of peanut butter.
Transfer the peanut butter to the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or any large bowl) and add
the confectioners' sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and butter. Mix together until smooth. Form the mixture into
bite-size balls and set aside on an un-greased cookie sheet. Chill until slightly firmed, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, arrange the paper cups on a cookie sheet. Melt the chocolate. Dip the tops of the peanut butter

before serving, about 30 minutes at room temperature (or refrigerate 10 minutes if you're in a hurry).
