Ingredients:
-
1 (10 oz) package of Butterfinger candy bars (about 6 bars)
-
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
-
1 cup creamy peanut butter
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
-
2 cups chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or a mix, based on your preference)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Butterfinger Filling:
-
Place the Butterfinger candy bars in a ziplock bag and crush them into small crumbs using a rolling pin, or use a food processor to pulse them into fine pieces. Set aside.
2. Make the Peanut Butter Mixture:
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
-
Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until it forms a thick, sticky dough.
-
Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until fully incorporated. Finally, add the crushed Butterfinger candy to the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
3. Form the Balls:
-
Use your hands or a small cookie scoop to shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
-
Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray, and chill them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
4. Coat the Balls in Chocolate:
-
Once the balls are chilled, melt the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. You can melt them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, or use a double boiler.
-
Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork or spoon to coat it evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
-
Return the chocolate-coated balls to the parchment paper and refrigerate for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
-
Once the chocolate is firm, your Butterfinger Balls are ready to enjoy! Serve them chilled for the best texture.
These Butterfinger Balls are a perfect blend of creamy peanut butter, crunchy Butterfinger candy, and rich chocolate – making them an irresistible treat!
