Ingredients

Scale

Base Mixture

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 Butterfinger candy bars, finely crushed

Chocolate Coating (Optional)

  • 12 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, either using an electric or stand mixer, or by hand with a spoon or spatula.
  2. Add Butterfinger Candy: Gently fold in the finely crushed Butterfinger candy bars, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the peanut butter mixture for added crunch and flavor.
  3. Form the Balls: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: If using, melt the chopped semisweet or milk chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Alternatively, melt in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between intervals to prevent burning.
  5. Dip in Chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated balls back on the baking sheet.
  6. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the coated Butterfinger Balls for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
  7. Store Properly: Once set, transfer the Butterfinger Balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator to maintain freshness until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For a firmer texture, chill the mixture before rolling into balls.
  • You can substitute peanut butter for almond butter for a different flavor.
  • If skipping the chocolate coating, dust the balls lightly with cocoa powder or crushed nuts.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
  • Handle the chocolate with care to avoid burning; stirring constantly is key during melting.
