Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup peanut butter (avoid all-natural varieties that separate)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup crushed Butterfinger bars
- 8 ounce chocolate bark or chocolate chips for coating
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, vanilla extract, peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and crushed Butterfinger bars. Mix the ingredients together until they are fully combined and the mixture has a dough-like consistency.
2. Take the peanut butter mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet as you go. Once all the balls are formed, place the baking sheet in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to firm up the balls.
3. While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate bark or chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
4. Remove the firm Butterfinger Balls from the freezer and, one by one, dip them into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat them fully. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. If desired, sprinkle the freshly coated Butterfinger Balls with extra crushed Butterfinger pieces, festive sprinkles, or a light dusting of coarse sea salt while the chocolate is still wet.
6. Finally, place the baking sheet with the coated and topped Butterfinger Balls in the refrigerator until the chocolate is fully set, about 30 minutes to an hour. Once chilled, your delectable Butterfinger Balls are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
For the best texture and flavor, it’s important to use a traditional peanut butter that doesn’t separate, rather than an all-natural variety. The non-separating peanut butter will create a smoother, more cohesive mixture for your Butterfinger Balls.
Properly storing your Butterfinger Balls is key to maintaining their freshness and texture. Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will stay fresh for up to 1 week. You can also freeze the uncoated balls for up to 3 months, then thaw and coat them in chocolate when ready to serve.
