Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 12 oz chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
- In a large bowl, mix the crushed Butterfinger bars, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter until well combined.
- Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for about 20-30 minutes until firm.
Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. (You can add coconut oil or shortening for a glossier finish.)
Coat the Balls:
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Place back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set.
Set and Serve:
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- You can use dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
- If the mixture is too sticky, chill it for a few minutes before rolling into balls.
- For extra crunch, add finely chopped Butterfinger pieces on top before the chocolate sets.
