Graham crackers with peanut butter are a popular sweet treat that combines the crunchy texture of graham crackers with the creamy, toasty flavor of peanut butter. These cookies originated in the United States, where graham crackers were invented by the preacher Sylvester Graham in the 19th century as a healthier bread option. Although not a traditional recipe in Latin America, they are known under similar names and enjoyed in different variations depending on the country. In Mexico and other countries, peanut butter is often used in homemade desserts to add protein and flavor, while graham crackers are simply known as "sweet whole wheat cookies" or "oatmeal cookies" in some regions. In Argentina and Chile, similar ingredients are mixed in homemade sweets, although with different names or accompaniments.

How to Make Graham Crackers with Peanut Butter
To begin, in a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and corn syrup.
Mix all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated.
Then, form balls of about one inch with the mixture.
Place the balls on cookie sheets previously lined with wax paper to prevent sticking.
Drizzle melted semi-sweet chocolate over the balls or roll them in caramel sprinkles to give them a decorative touch and extra flavor.
Finally, store the covered cookies in the refrigerator to harden and set before serving.
