Notes
For a nut-free version, substitute sunflower butter for peanut butter. Graham cracker crumbs can be replaced with crushed digestive biscuits if needed. Prepare up to 2 days ahead and store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to one week, or freeze up to 2 months. If dough is too sticky, add more graham cracker crumbs; if too crumbly, add more peanut butter or cream cheese. Ensure chocolate is fully melted for smooth dipping.
