Equipment

• Mixing bowl
• Spoon or spatula
• Baking sheet
• Parchment or wax paper
• Microwave-safe bowl (for melting chocolate)

Ingredients

  

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars about 5 full-size bars
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening optional, for smoother chocolate

Instructions

 

• Prepare the mixture:
• In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, crushed Butterfinger candy bars, and powdered sugar. Mix until thoroughly combined and sticky enough to hold together.
• Form the balls:
• Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to firm up the balls.
• Melt the chocolate:
• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil or shortening (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
• Coat the balls in chocolate:
• Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Use a fork to lift the ball out of the chocolate, letting any excess drip off, and return it to the baking sheet.
• Chill and set:
• Refrigerate the coated balls for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
• Serve:
• Enjoy these Butterfinger Balls right away, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
