Mud Balls Chocolatey Sweet Treat

# What You Need:

01 - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

02 - 1 cup finely chopped walnuts (optional)

03 - 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

04 - 1 cup powdered sugar

05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

06 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

07 - 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

09 - 1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

01 - In a large bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, walnuts if using, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt until evenly blended.

02 - Whisk together melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.

03 - Pour the wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir until a thick, uniform dough forms.

04 - Refrigerate the dough for 20 to 30 minutes until firm enough to handle.

05 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll each between palms to form balls.

06 - Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar to coat evenly.

07 - Place coated balls on a parchment-lined tray and chill for an additional 10 minutes until set.

08 - Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.

01 -

Zero oven time means you can make these while drinking your morning coffee or during a lazy afternoon.
They taste like fudgy brownie bites but require no baking skills whatsoever.
The powdered sugar coating hides any imperfections and makes every ball look bakery-worthy.

02 -

The chilling step isn't optional—it keeps your hands from being covered in sticky chocolate while rolling, and it also helps the balls hold their shape.
Don't over-mix the wet and dry ingredients or the balls become dense and cake-like instead of fudgy and tender.

03 -

If your kitchen is warm, chill your hands in cool water before rolling to keep the dough from sticking and melting.
Use a small ice cream scoop to portion the dough—it ensures uniform sizes and makes the whole process faster and more even.
