Mom's Peanut Butter Logs (candy)

Filling:
1 c. crunchy peanut butter (at least, you may add more to taste, up to a whole jar)
1 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 c. melted butter
½ tsp. vanilla
1 lb. powdered sugar

Coating:
1/2 c. Canola oil
24 oz. bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips (At least, you may need more to coat the whole batch. Keep extra oil and chocolate chips on hand in case you need to melt more.)

Mix peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, and powdered sugar. Pour butter and vanilla over mixture and work with hands to an even consistency. You may need to put mixture in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes to get it to set into a workable consistency. Shape into log shapes (or balls).

In double boiler, bring water to a boil. Turn off heat. Put oil and chips in top pan. Stir until melted. Dip logs into chocolate and roll with fork to coat, remove quickly and place on wax paper covered baking sheet to set. If kitchen is hot, you may have to pop them in the freezer for a few minutes to get the chocolate hardened. Let cool completely before storing. Keep refrigerated.

I think of this as Christmas candy because when I was little, my mom would make homemade candies (including these) to give as Christmas gifts. The peanut butter logs were always my dad's favorite.
