For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. If the peanut butter mixture is too soft, add a bit more graham cracker crumbs to achieve the desired consistency. To prevent the chocolate from seizing, ensure that no water or steam comes into contact with it during melting. Store the finished chocolate peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
