These bite-sized delights are packed with the crunchy goodness of Butterfinger candy bars and the creamy richness of peanut butter. They make for a sweet treat that’s perfect for parties, gatherings, or simply indulging your sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 10 full-sized bars)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Butterfinger Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger candy bars, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened unsalted butter.
- Mix these ingredients until they form a dough-like consistency. You may need to use your hands to fully incorporate the ingredients.
2. Shape the Balls:
- Scoop out portions of the Butterfinger mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
3. Chill the Balls:
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the Butterfinger balls chill for at least 30 minutes. This will help them firm up.
4. Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil.
- Heat the mixture in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
5. Dip the Balls:
- Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
6. Set and Cool:
- Place the chocolate-covered Butterfinger balls back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
7. Harden and Set:
- Let the chocolate-covered balls sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens. You can also speed up this process by placing them in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the chocolate has set, your homemade Butterfinger Balls are ready to enjoy.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
