Description
These Butterfinger Peanut Butter Balls are an irresistibly easy treat that combine rich peanut butter, crushed Butterfinger bars, and a chocolate coating for a delightful indulgence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup peanut butter (avoid all-natural varieties that separate)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup crushed Butterfinger bars
- 8 ounces chocolate bark or chocolate chips (for coating)
- Optional: extra crushed Butterfinger bars, festive sprinkles, or coarse sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Gradually mix in the powdered sugar at low speed, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Fold in graham cracker crumbs and crushed Butterfingers until the mixture is evenly combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the dough and roll into balls. Place them spaced apart on the sheet.
- Freeze the formed balls for 30 minutes or until completely firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate bark or chips in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between bursts until smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
- Dip each chilled ball in the melted chocolate—either fully or halfway. Immediately top with additional crushed Butterfingers, sea salt, or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Allow the chocolate coating to harden completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- These treats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
