Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 (16-oz) box powdered sugar
- 2½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 (1.9-oz) Butterfinger bars, crushed
- 1¼ cups butter, melted
- 1½ cups crunchy peanut butter
- 1 (24-oz) package chocolate almond bark or preferred chocolate candy coating
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, crushed Butterfinger bars, melted butter, and crunchy peanut butter. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended and form a thick, consistent dough.
- Form Balls: Roll the prepared mixture into 1-inch diameter balls using your hands. Place each ball carefully onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy handling.
- Chill: Refrigerate the balls for 30 minutes. This chilling step helps them firm up, making them easier to handle and allowing them to hold their shape during the dipping process.
- Melt Chocolate: Following the package instructions, gently melt the chocolate almond bark or your chosen chocolate candy coating until smooth and glossy. Use a microwave or double boiler for best results.
- Dip Balls: One at a time, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring full and even coverage. Use a fork or dipping tool to lift the coated ball and allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back onto a parchment-lined sheet.
- Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Once the chocolate has hardened, the Butterfinger Balls are ready to serve and enjoy.
Notes
- For easier handling, keep your hands slightly damp when rolling the balls to prevent sticking.
- Use crunchy peanut butter for the best texture contrast; smooth peanut butter can be substituted but will yield a softer texture.
- Store finished Butterfinger Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- These treats can be frozen for up to three months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
- Substitute chocolate almond bark with semisweet or milk chocolate chips if preferred.
