Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Crush approximately 10 sheets of Graham Crackers using a rolling pin or food processor until fine crumbs remain.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed Graham Crackers, peanut butter, softened butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and cohesive.
  3. Gently fold in the Rice Krispie Cereal until evenly distributed, ensuring not to over-mix.
  4. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Scoop the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for another 2 hours.
  6. Melt the Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  7. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing back on the baking sheet.
  8. Refrigerate the chocolate-coated truffles for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
  9. Melt the colorful Candy Melts in separate Ziploc bags and drizzle over the set truffles for decoration.
