These no-bake Buckeye Graham Crackers are a delightfully simple treat that combines the classic flavors of buckeye candies—rich, creamy peanut butter and smooth chocolate—with the satisfying crunch of graham crackers. Each square is topped with a dollop of sweet peanut butter filling, coated in luscious chocolate, and finished with a drizzle of peanut butter chips. Quick and fuss-free, they require no oven and can be prepared in just 20 minutes (plus chilling). Perfect for snacking, school lunches, or sharing at parties, they’re a crowd-pleasing dessert that marries texture and flavor in every bite!
12 graham crackers, broken in half (makes 24 squares)
1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided (3 tbsp + 1 tbsp)
1 cup peanut butter chips
Break each graham cracker sheet in half to form squares and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Roll the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls and place one on each graham cracker square. Gently flatten each ball, spreading it to the edges.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips with 3 tablespoons vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Coat each prepared graham cracker square with the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and return to the baking sheet.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter chips and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
Drizzle the melted peanut butter over the chocolate-coated crackers. Transfer to the fridge to let the chocolate and drizzle set before serving.
