1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (plus more for coating)
Optional: pinch of salt
Optional: mini chocolate chips or sprinkles for decoration

- Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if using), then beat until well combined.
- Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and mix thoroughly.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Once firm, scoop and roll the mixture into bite-sized balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop.
- Roll each ball in additional graham cracker crumbs to coat evenly.
- Optionally, press mini chocolate chips or sprinkles on top for decoration.

Notes
Use gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free version.
Dip in melted chocolate for a festive variation.
Mix-ins like crushed Oreos, lemon zest, or chopped nuts add great flavor and texture.
Lightly dust your hands with graham cracker crumbs if the mixture is sticky when rolling.
Make ahead and store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
