Ingredients:
For the chocolate balls:
1 cup of crushed graham crackers
1 cup of powdered sugar
1 cup of cocoa powder
1 cup of melted butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
For the coating:
1 cup of chocolate chips
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
Christmas sprinkles (optional)
Start by mixing the crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Make sure all the ingredients are well combined and form a dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a few drops of milk to help bind it together. Once the dough is ready, fold in the chopped nuts for an extra crunch.
Next, take small portions of the dough and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and chill them in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
In the meantime, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Dip each chocolate ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, making sure it is evenly coated. You can also sprinkle some Christmas sprinkles on top for a festive touch. Place them back on the baking tray and chill for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate coating hardens.
Once the chocolate balls are firm, they are ready to be served or packaged as gifts. These chocolate balls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, but let's be honest, they probably won't last that long.
Enjoy these Christmas chocolate balls as a sweet treat after a holiday meal or give them as homemade gifts to friends and family. Either way, they are sure to be a hit. Happy holidays and happy snacking!
