★Ingredients
1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 3 full-size bars)
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)
★Instructions
- Prepare the Candy Base:
- Crush the Butterfinger candy bars into small pieces. You can do this by placing them in a ziplock bag and using a rolling pin or a heavy object to crush them.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger bars, peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Form the Balls:
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the Balls:
- Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the coated ball back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Set the Coating:
- Once all the balls are coated, place them back in the refrigerator to set the chocolate, about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve:
- Enjoy your Butterfinger Balls straight from the fridge or at room temperature!
Storage:
- Store any leftover Butterfinger Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Enjoy!
