These bite size Butterfinger balls are out of this world delicious. Peanut butter, graham crackers, Butterfinger candy bars, and more formed into balls and dipped in melted chocolate. This kind of dessert is one that will disappear fast at parties and holiday gatherings.
Garnish with additional crushed butterfingersholiday sprinkles or coarse salt.
Instructions
In a medium bowl, add the peanut butter and softened butter and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until mixed together well. (You can also use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment).
Add the vanilla extract and blend until combines.
Slowly add the powdered sugar in batches blending on low speed. Be sure to scrape down the sides occasionally.
Then gently stir in the graham cracker crumbs and crushed butterfingers
Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and scoop out 1- 1 ½ tablespoons of dough.
Roll into smooth balls and place them on the baking sheet.
Place the sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to chill completely.
Melting the chocolate
After they have chilled, melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl at 30 second intervals on 50% power level, stirring in between. Careful not to over heat! I remove it when there are still a few chunks and stir until it's melted completely.
Dip the balls into the melted chocolate. You can cover them all the way or leave a little of the peanut butter mixture showing.
Sprinkle over additional crushed butterfingers, holiday sprinkles or flakey sea salt.
Allow the chocolate to set completely and enjoy.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.Use regular peanut butter like Jif or Skippy and not an all-natural peanut butter. It tends to be more oily.Using chocolate bark makes a more smooth finish and doesn’t have to be tempered. You could also use ½ chocolate bark and ½ chocolate chips, or all tempered chocolate chips.Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate over low or medium-low heat if desired.
