Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls

1 (12 oz.) pkg peanut butter chips
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/4 c. butter
1/2 c. milk
2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 c. finely chopped peanuts
1 (24 oz.) pkg. chocolate bark or chocolate suitable for dipping

Combine peanut butter pieces, peanut butter, butter and milk in microwave-safe bowl.
Heat in microwave on high approx. 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Peanut butter pieces should be melted and mixture should be smooth. Add graham cracker crumbs and chopped peanuts to melted peanut butter mixture. Mix well. Shape mixture into balls about the size of a small walnut or buckeye. Place on wax paper lined baking sheet. Cover and chill in refrigerator 1 hour. Melt chocolate in double boiler over hot water or in glass bowl on a warming tray turned on high. Dip peanut butter balls in the melted chocolate. Place ball back on wax paper sheet. Store in refrigerator until chocolate is firm. Balls can be placed in a covered container and kept in refrigerator. Makes about 2-1/2 dozen.
