Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
1½ cups powdered sugar
1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 4 fun-size bars)
1½ cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
Instructions
Prep the Filling:
In a large bowl, mix peanut butter and softened butter until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add powdered sugar and stir until a thick dough forms.
Add the Crunch:
Stir in the crushed Butterfinger candy. Mix until evenly combined.
Form the Balls:
Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to roll the mixture into balls.
Place balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the freezer for 20–30 minutes.
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
Dip and Set:
Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
Place back on parchment paper and let the coating set at room temperature or in the fridge.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the peanut butter mixture and freeze the rolled balls (uncoated) for up to 1 month. Dip in chocolate when ready to serve.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Substitutions: Try almond butter instead of peanut butter, or use white chocolate for coating.
