Scale
Peanut Butter Mixture:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 6 fun-size bars)
- 12 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
Instructions
- Mix Peanut Butter and Butter: In a large bowl, blend peanut butter and softened butter until creamy.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar until a thick dough forms.
- Combine Butterfinger: Stir in the crushed Butterfinger pieces until evenly mixed.
- Shape into Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips (and coconut oil if desired) in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Coat Balls: Dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, allowing excess to drip off. Place on parchment paper.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until chocolate sets. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
- For added texture, use crunchy peanut butter.
- Enhance with a white chocolate drizzle or extra crushed Butterfinger for decoration.
