Photo: Sunny's Crunchy Peanut Butter S'more Bites Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups crunchy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 sticks butter
- 5 cups powdered sugar
- 24 ounces (4 cups) milk chocolate chips, melted
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 cup coconut flakes, optional
- 2 1/2 cups puffed rice cereal, optional
Directions
In a large bowl, add the peanut butter, butter and powdered sugar and beat with a whisk or electric beater until smooth. Using a teaspoon measure, scoop the mixture and form into balls, then press into a coin shape the diameter of a quarter. Refrigerate to set up dough cookies, about 30 minutes.
To make bites, dip peanut butter coins in melted chocolate then toss in graham cracker crumbs until coated, double dip and double coat if you feel dangerous. Arrange the coated coins on a wire rack and refrigerate for about 30 more minutes to set. Add the marshmallow fluff to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Remove the coins from the refrigerator and squeeze about 1 teaspoon of marshmallow fluff into the center of half of the coins. If you don't have a pastry bag, use a plastic bag, fill it with fluff and cut 1 corner off and dollop that way. Then top each half with another coin to make a sandwich and place return to the refrigerator to set, about 1 hour.
Options: chop coconut flakes and add them to the graham cracker crumbs to use for coating.
Add puffed rice cereal into the peanut butter, butter and powdered sugar for a bit more texture and crunch.

These were the favorite among everyone who tried my Holiday cookies this year. The peanut butter and powdered sugar mixture is a little difficult to work with and these were messy to make. I was a little worried about them being too sweet, but they weren't too sweet at all and the flavors are amazing.

Tastes great, but pretty rich. When I found the recipe I though this would be fun and a breeze to make, I wasn't exactly right. It takes a little more effort than the recipe would have you believe and be prepared to make a mess. When finished I was wearing a good coating of powdered sugar and unless you can preform miracles you will be removing marshmallow fluff from some surface (likely your hand. Also, don't try to add some extra marshmallow (even if you love the stuff, like me, it will ooze all over the bottom 'coin'.

AMAZING!!! I read the reviews & took several recommendations so this wouldn't be so labor & time intensive. I used all the ingredients except the marshmallow fluff & the coconut flakes. I substituted the crunchy for smooth peanut butter; 2 cups of powdered sugar instead of 5; dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate & I also used the puffed rice cereal. I mixed all the ingredients together (except for the chocolate & placed it in a pan. I refrigerated it for about an hour. I melted the chocolate chips & added a tiny bit of creamer. I covered the top of the peanut butter batch with melted chocolate and I let it cool. Then I cut them into squares. These were amazing! Not too sweet and the perfect texture. They didn't look like the picture listed but the squares were still very nice as I placed them in holiday tin cans! I had people ask me for the recipe!! I loved them and I'm not a peanut butter fan.
