Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups crushed Butterfinger bars (about 5 full-sized bars)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening
Instructions
- Crush the Butterfinger Bars: Place them in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin or use a food processor.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Stir until smooth, then mix in the crushed Butterfingers.
- Form Balls: Scoop out portions and roll into 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Melt the Chocolate: Microwave chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Coat the Balls: Dip each Butterfinger ball in melted chocolate, let excess drip off, and place back on the tray.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate for 30 minutes until the chocolate sets, then enjoy!
Notes
- Use regular peanut butter instead of natural for a firmer texture.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Sprinkle extra crushed Butterfinger on top for added crunch.
