Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (your choice for sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1 cup dark chocolate chips (60-70% cacao recommended for richness)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (for a glossy finish)

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (optional, for a crunchy texture)

1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture:

    In a medium-sized mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the creamy peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt using a spatula or spoon. Mix until the ingredients are well blended and the mixture is smooth.

      Form the Rounds:

        Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal. Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, scoop out the peanut butter mixture and roll each portion into small balls. Place these balls on the prepared baking sheet and gently press them down to form disks, about 1/2 inch thick.

          Chill the Peanut Butter Rounds:

            Transfer the baking sheet with the peanut butter disks into the freezer. Let them chill for approximately 30 minutes, or until they have firmed up and are easy to handle.

              Melt the Chocolate:

                In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Continue until the chocolate is completely melted and achieves a smooth consistency.

                  Coat the Rounds:

                    Once the peanut butter rounds are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate. Ensure each round is completely coated in chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated rounds back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

                      Add Toppings (Optional):

                        For an extra layer of crunch and flavor, sprinkle crushed graham crackers and chopped peanuts on top of the chocolate-coated rounds before the chocolate sets.

                          Freeze Until Set:

                            After all rounds are coated and topped, return the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the rounds to freeze for about 1 hour, or until the chocolate coating is fully hardened.

                              Serve and Enjoy:

                                Once the chocolate is set, carefully lift the rounds off the parchment paper. Enjoy these delightful frozen treats immediately! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month to maintain freshness.
