Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup softened butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars
  • chocolate bark or chocolate chips for dipping
  • additional crushed Butterfingers holiday sprinkles, or coarse salt for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and ½ cup of softened butter; mix together until creamy and fully blended.
  2. Next, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
  3. Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until combined, and be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs and 1 cup of crushed Butterfinger candy, mixing until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  5. Scoop 1 ½ tablespoons of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes to help them set.
  6. Melt your dipping chocolate (either chocolate bark or chocolate chips) in a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth, or use a double boiler method for better control over the heat.
  7. Once melted, dip the chilled balls into the chocolate until fully coated, or leave some of the peanut butter mixture exposed. Top with additional crushed Butterfingers, colorful sprinkles, or a sprinkle of coarse salt for a delightful finish.

Notes

  • Use room temperature peanut butter and butter to ensure a smooth, creamy texture that's easy to mix.
  • When melting chocolate, do it slowly to avoid overheating, which can cause the chocolate to seize.
  • Opt for a double boiler when melting chocolate for better control and a smooth, glossy finish for your Butterfinger Balls.
  • Be sure no water gets into your chocolate while melting, as even a drop can ruin its consistency.
  • Don’t skip the chilling step! Freezing the balls for 30 minutes helps them hold their shape while being dipped in chocolate.
