Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Use room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup crushed Butterfinger bars Approximately 3 regular-sized bars.
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil Optional, for melting chocolate more smoothly.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix until well blended and you have a thick, dough-like consistency.
  2. Fold in the crushed Butterfinger bars into the peanut butter mixture until evenly distributed.
  3. Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about the size of a golf ball. Lay them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the balls to firm up.
  5. While the balls are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. If using, add the coconut oil to the chocolate for a smoother consistency. Heat in intervals, stirring each time until fully melted.
  6. Once chilled, remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
  7. After dipping, sprinkle more crushed Butterfinger on top or drizzle with additional melted chocolate for added flair.
  8. Place the chocolate-covered balls back onto the lined baking sheet and let them sit until the chocolate hardens.
  9. Once set, these delicious Butterfinger Balls are ready to eat! Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for later enjoyment.

Notes

Use room temperature peanut butter for a smoother mix. Try different chocolates for flavor variations, such as dark or white chocolate. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.
