Ingredients
Scale
ou’ll need these ingredients to make your Butterfinger Balls:
- 1 ½ cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 4–5 bars)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips (or your preferred chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for melting chocolate)
Instructions
Prepare the Butterfinger Mixture:
- Crush the Butterfingers: Unwrap the Butterfinger bars and crush them into small pieces using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- Mix Peanut Butter and Powdered Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Add Crushed Butterfingers: Stir the crushed Butterfingers into the peanut butter mixture until the candy is evenly distributed throughout.
Form the Balls:
- Shape the Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
- Chill the Balls: Refrigerate the balls for about 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Coat with Chocolate:
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate, covering it completely. Tap off any excess chocolate and return the ball to the parchment paper.
- Chill Again: Place the coated balls back in the fridge for an additional 10 minutes to let the chocolate set.
