Butterfinger Balls
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Softened butter | 4 tablespoons (½ stick) |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Chocolate bark or chocolate chips | 8 ounces |
| Crushed Butterfinger bars | ½ cup |
| Powdered sugar | 1 cup |
| Peanut butter (not all-natural) | 1 cup |
| Graham cracker crumbs | ¾ cup |
| Optional Garnishes: extra crushed Butterfinger bars, sprinkles, or coarse sea salt | As desired |
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and softened butter. Beat on medium speed with an electric or stand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until incorporated. Scrape down the bowl as needed. Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs and crushed Butterfinger pieces until evenly mixed.
2. Shape & Chill:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls. Arrange them on the baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
3. Melt the Chocolate:
Once the balls are chilled, melt the chocolate bark or chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring after each round until smooth. Avoid overheating.
4. Coat and Decorate:
Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, coating fully or partially as desired. While the coating is still wet, sprinkle with optional toppings like crushed Butterfinger bits, colorful sprinkles, or coarse sea salt.
5. Final Step:
Let the chocolate harden completely before serving. To speed up the process, return the tray to the freezer for a few minutes.
Storage:
Keep the Butterfinger Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Rich, crunchy, and creamy all at once—these bite-sized sweets are impossible to resist!
