Servings: 24 balls

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars about 2 full-size bars
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening optional, for smoother chocolate coating

Instructions

  • Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, crushed Butterfinger, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and smooth.
  • Form the Balls: Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all the mixture is used. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  • Dip the Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the ball back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Chill and Set: Once all the balls are coated in chocolate, return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
