Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 8 oz Butterfinger candy bars, crushed
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp shortening (optional, for smoother melting)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and crushed Butterfinger candy bars. Mix until well combined.
- Form the Balls:
- Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill:
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the balls to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and shortening (if using) in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the Balls:
- Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat it completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, then place the coated ball back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Set the Chocolate:
- Once all the balls are coated in chocolate, place the baking sheet back in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Serve and Store:
- Once the chocolate is set, the Butterfinger balls are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
These Butterfinger Balls are a perfect combination of creamy, crunchy, and chocolatey, making them a hit at any gathering. Enjoy!
