Butterfinger Balls

Ingredients:

• 1 (10 oz) package Butterfinger candy bars (about 4-5 bars)
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark, your choice)
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil (for melting the chocolate)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Butterfinger Filling:

1. Crush the Butterfingers: Unwrap the Butterfinger candy bars and break them into smaller pieces. You can crush them by hand or place them in a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into small pieces or crumbs.

2. Mix the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger pieces, powdered sugar, peanut butter, softened butter, graham cracker crumbs, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula or your hands to mix everything together until the mixture is fully combined and dough-like.

3. Form the balls: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls using your hands. You should be able to make about 20-24 balls, depending on size. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.

2. Coat the Balls with Chocolate:

1. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil together. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.

2. Dip the balls: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Gently tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.

3. Place on parchment paper: Return the dipped balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet. If you have any leftover melted chocolate, you can drizzle it over the top of the balls for a decorative touch.

3. Chill and Set:

1. Chill: Place the chocolate-coated Butterfinger balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set and firm.

2. Serve: Once the chocolate is set, your Butterfinger balls are ready to enjoy! Serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Tips:

• Add-ins: Feel free to add a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate before it hardens for a sweet and salty contrast.
• Vegan option: For a dairy-free version, you can use dairy-free chocolate and peanut butter, and swap the graham cracker crumbs for a vegan-friendly alternative.
• Storage: These balls store well in the fridge and can also be frozen. Just layer them with parchment paper in an airtight container to avoid sticking.

These Butterfinger Balls are a rich, crunchy, and creamy treat that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. They’re simple to make, and you can even get the kids involved in rolling the balls! Enjoy!
