Scale
- 1 cup (240g) creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups (about 10 oz) crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 12 oz (340g) chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smooth coating)
Instructions
- Make the Peanut Butter Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fully combined.
- Stir in the crushed Butterfinger candy bars.
- Form the Balls:
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill in the freezer for 20-30 minutes, or until firm.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Coat the Butterfinger Balls:
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated.
- Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Let Set:
- Allow the Butterfinger Balls to set at room temperature or in the fridge until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes.
- Serve:
- Once set, enjoy these sweet and crunchy treats!
Notes
- Make it crunchy: Add extra crushed Butterfinger pieces to the top of the balls before the chocolate sets.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Make it nut-free: Use sunflower seed butter as a peanut butter alternative.
