Total Time:1 hour 5 minutes
Yield:24 pieces
Ingredients
Base Mixture
1 cup crushed graham crackers
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup Fireball cinnamon whiskey
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Coating
1/2 cup melted chocolate
Instructions
Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder until evenly combined.
Add wet ingredients: Stir in Fireball cinnamon whiskey and peanut butter thoroughly until the mixture becomes well combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
Incorporate chocolate chips: If desired, fold in mini chocolate chips gently to add texture and extra bursts of chocolate flavor.
Shape the balls: Roll the mixture into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter, ensuring they are compact and evenly sized.
Freeze the balls: Place the shaped balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about 30 minutes to let them firm up.
Dip in chocolate: Once firm, dip each ball fully into the melted chocolate, coating them completely for a glossy finish.
Set the coating: Return the chocolate-coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate coating is set, approximately 15-20 minutes.
Serve and enjoy: Once the chocolate is firm, the whiskey balls are ready to serve as a sweet, boozy treat.
Notes
Use natural peanut butter for a healthier option without added sugars.
Mini chocolate chips are optional but add nice texture and extra sweetness.
Make sure the balls are well chilled before dipping to prevent breaking apart.
Store leftover whiskey balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Can substitute Fireball whiskey with another cinnamon-flavored liqueur if unavailable.
