Butterfinger Balls Recipe
Ingredients:
– 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 4-5 bars)
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– 1 cup chocolate chips (milk or dark chocolate)
– 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate)
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger candy bars and creamy peanut butter. Mix until well combined. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until the mixture is smooth and holds together.
2. Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all the mixture is shaped into balls, refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to firm up.
3. While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
4. Remove the chilled Butterfinger Balls from the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated, and return them to the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle crushed Butterfinger or other toppings on top before the chocolate sets.
5. Once all the balls are coated, refrigerate them again for about 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate is firm. Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious Butterfinger Balls!
