Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups chocolate chips milk or semi-sweet
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening for smoother chocolate coating
Instructions
- Crush the Butterfingers: Place the Butterfinger candy bars in a zip-top bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin or food processor.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Butterfingers, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Stir until the mixture is well combined and forms a thick dough.
- Shape the Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15–20 minutes to firm up the balls before coating them in chocolate.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
- Coat the Balls: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back onto the parchment paper.
- Set the Chocolate: Let the Butterfinger Balls sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or speed up the process by refrigerating them for 10–15 minutes.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
