Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) softened butter
- 1 cup peanut butter (avoid all-natural varieties)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup Butterfinger bars, crushed
- 8 ounces chocolate bark or chocolate chips
- Optional garnishes: additional crushed Butterfinger bars, festive sprinkles, or coarse sea salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and ½ cup of crushed Butterfinger bars until evenly distributed. The mixture should be pliable.
- Roll the mixture into approximately 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls. Place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until thoroughly firm.
- Melt the chocolate bark or chocolate chips using a microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring) or a double boiler until smooth and glossy. Avoid overheating.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate. Lift, tap gently to remove excess chocolate, and then place it back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Immediately garnish the chocolate-coated balls with additional crushed Butterfinger bars, festive sprinkles, or coarse sea salt, if desired, while the chocolate is still wet. Return to the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely firm.
- Once set, transfer the Butterfinger Balls to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. For longer storage, they can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
