Equipment

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Ensure the sheet fits in your freezer.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and creamy peanut butter until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add vanilla extract and salt. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs until a dough forms.
  4. Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and roll until smooth. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
