Simple to make with just a few ingredients, these little indulgences are perfect for anyone who loves the classic Butterfinger candy!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 6-8 full-sized bars)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips for a sweeter touch)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (to smooth the chocolate coating)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Butterfinger Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger bars and peanut butter. Use a spatula or spoon to mix them until they are fully incorporated into a smooth, sticky dough.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Mix well until the dough becomes firm and easy to handle.
- Shape the Balls:
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You should get about 24 balls depending on the size you make them.
- Chill the balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to help them firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the Balls:
- Once the Butterfinger balls have chilled and the chocolate is ready, use a fork to dip each ball into the melted chocolate. Gently tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate, then place the coated ball back on the parchment paper.
- Chill and Serve:
- Once all the balls are coated in chocolate, return the baking sheet to the fridge for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set and harden.
- Serve the Butterfinger balls chilled and enjoy the irresistible combination of crunchy, creamy, and chocolaty goodness!
Tips:
- For an extra crunch, you can roll the balls in crushed peanuts or sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
