Ingredients
  

For the Graham Crackers
For the Buckeye Coating

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling pin
  • Pizza cutter or knife
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. For the graham crackers: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Add the softened butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  6. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into rectangles, about 3x5 inches. You can score lines to resemble graham crackers if desired.
  7. Transfer the crackers to the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around the edges.
  9. Let the crackers cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For the buckeye coating: In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth.
  11. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until well combined.
  12. Dip the bottom half of each cooled graham cracker into the melted semisweet chocolate. Place on parchment paper to set.
  13. Once the chocolate has set, spread a thin layer of the peanut butter mixture onto the top half of each cracker.
  14. Allow the peanut butter mixture to set before serving.

Notes
