Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 (16-oz) box powdered sugar
  • 2½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 (1.9-oz) Butterfinger bars, crushed

Wet Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups butter, melted
  • 1½ cups crunchy peanut butter

Coating

  • 1 (24-oz) package chocolate almond bark or preferred chocolate candy coating

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, crushed Butterfinger bars, melted butter, and crunchy peanut butter. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended and form a thick, consistent dough.
  2. Form Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. Place each ball onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate handling.
  3. Chill: Refrigerate the formed balls for 30 minutes to firm them up. This makes them easier to handle and helps them maintain shape during dipping.
  4. Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate almond bark or candy coating according to package instructions using a microwave or double boiler until smooth and glossy.
  5. Dip Balls: One at a time, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring full and even coverage. Use a fork or dipping tool to lift the coated ball and let excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined sheet.
  6. Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Once hardened, the Butterfinger Balls are ready to serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the balls are well chilled before dipping to prevent melting and ensure a smooth chocolate coating.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • You can substitute crunchy peanut butter with creamy for a smoother texture if preferred.
  • For a festive touch, drizzle with white chocolate or sprinkle crushed nuts before the chocolate sets.
