Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (16 ounce) can ready-to-spread vanilla frosting
1 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 (16 ounce) can ready-to-spread chocolate fudge frosting

Steps:

  • In large bowl, combine Vanilla frosting, peanut butter and margarine with a fork until well blended.
  • Stir in crumbs until well mixed.
  • Form into 1-inch balls.
  • Chill 1 hour.
  • In small saucepan, melt Chocolate frosting over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • DO NOT OVERHEAT-- THE FROSTING WILL BECOME STICKY AND WON'T SET UP PROPERLY.
  • Dip chilled balls in melted frosting.
  • Allow excess to drip off.
  • Place on waxed paper.
  • Let stand at room temperature until dry, about 6 hours.
  • TIP: If the frosting used for coating thickens, gently reheat.
