Instructions

Carefully each graham cracker sheet in half so you have squares. Place them on a lined baking sheet and set aside.
In a large bowl, using electric hand mixers, mix peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla until smooth.
Roll the mixture into 12 equal sized balls. Place one ball on each graham cracker square, then top with another cracker. Gently press to flatten the filling edge to edge. Smooth the sides with your finger so nothing spills out.
In a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and 1-1/2 tablespoons coconut oil. Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. As soon as chocolate
Dip each graham cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to lift it out and let the extra chocolate drip off, tapping the edge of the bowl to help. Slide the sandwich off the fork with a butter knife and place it back on the lined sheet pan.
In another microwave safe bowl, combine the peanut butter chips and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil. Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Transfer to a piping bottle or a zip top bag with the corner snipped.
Drizzle the melted peanut butter mixture over the chocolate coated crackers. Place the tray in the fridge until the chocolate is fully set.

Notes

Note 1: The better the quality of the chocolate chips, the better this treat will taste.

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. Keep them chilled so the chocolate stays firm. Best enjoyed the same day since the graham crackers continue to soften.
