Butterfinger Balls Recipe

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Butterfinger Mixture

1. Crush the Butterfingers: Place the Butterfinger candy bars in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin or meat mallet. Alternatively, you can use a food processor to pulse them into crumbs. Set aside.
2. Mix Peanut Butter and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Add the Crushed Butterfingers: Fold the crushed Butterfinger pieces into the peanut butter mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.

Step 2: Shape the Balls

1. Form the Balls: Scoop out small portions of the mixture using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, and roll them into 1-inch balls using your hands. Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the balls are firm. This helps them hold their shape when dipping in chocolate.

Step 3: Coat with Chocolate

1. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil or shortening (if using). Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
2. Dip the Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Let Them Set: Let the chocolate-coated balls sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate has hardened, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

1. Presentation: Once the chocolate is fully set, transfer the Butterfinger Balls to a serving platter or airtight container.
2. Store: Store in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for longer storage. Enjoy them chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Tips for Making the Best Butterfinger Balls

• Choose Your Chocolate: Semi-sweet or milk chocolate works best for coating, but you can also use dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
• Add Extra Crunch: For added texture, you can roll the chocolate-coated balls in additional crushed Butterfinger crumbs before the chocolate sets.
• Customize the Size: Feel free to make these balls smaller or larger, adjusting the chilling time accordingly.
